The Kills are what they seem
by Karlawithbangs on 7/13/09Glass House - PomonaRating: 4 out of 5The glass house is a small venue. You can make eye contact with the band throughout the show. Almost like meeting your heroes, or Hear-oes, in this case. If you have ever seen a Kills video, their live show is exactly what you would imagine. I watched the reactions of people around me- everyone moving to the same beat, as if the crowd is putting on a show themselves. Very entertaining, it is as much about the music as it is about performing the weird vibe in their songs. They played very few songs and walked off stage; they also started the show kinda late. My legs were very tired, and I felt a little resentful. They came back out after some of the crowd cleared out, I guess to reward the people who wanted an encore. Kind of a jerk ass move, but I think that's their whole vibe. Its fun, its old-time rock and roll sort of suspenseful stage show. I would go see them again, but arrive late and push my way up to the front.
