Likely Looks: The Kills - Last Day Of Magic

The Kills have slowly creeped their way into being on of my favorite bands of the moment with their latest album "Midnight Boom". Their latest video for "Last Day Of Magic" is a whirlwind of pure sex and pure aggression. The chemistry that Jamie and Allison have is amazing...and regardless what their status is (friends, lovers...blah blah) I could give a shit. All I know is that they are brilllliant.

The Kills Party with NYLON Magazine

In true New York fashion, The Kills take the stage 45 minutes later than they should have. The room is full of New York's finest scene kids (some with odd hats) that look like they've literally walked right off the pages of NYLON.

Allison and Jamie take the stage with a guitar, cigarettes and no backdrop...just a drum machine assisting them through their tracks. Most people are a bit tipsy by now if you were able to make it to the bar multiple times (it was tough though).

For a duo, they somehow manage to keep the audience entertained just through their music, a rarity in this day and age. Purity really is the joy of The Kills though...

Here is the set list:

No Wow
Pull A U
U.R.A. Fever
Sour Cherry
Kissy Kissy
Tape Song
Last Day of Magic
Black Rooster
Wait
Cheap & Cheerful
Fried My Little Brains
