The Kills bring 'Ash & Ice' to the Buckhead Theatre
Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince return for another round of machine-age rock dirges
It seemed the bi-continental duo of American frontwoman Alison Mosshart and UK multi-instrumentalist Jamie Hince wouldn’t get a chance to release a fifth album as the Kills. Mosshart was successfully riding with Jack White in his Dead Weather project, and, more crucially, Hince injured his left hand, requiring multiple surgeries forcing him to relearn playing guitar. But they bounced back with this year’s Ash & Ice, a brooding, forceful return capturing the duo’s stripped-down bluesy, often drum machine enhanced alt-rock with stirring results. Live, they bring it, as Mosshart is one of contemporary rock’s most riveting figures.
