British-american duo The Kills is going on tour with a stop in Prague for the first time. Alison Mosshart was previously in Floridian punk rock band Discount, and Hince was in the British rock band Scarfo.
Before the two had met, Mosshart overheard Hince playing music in an upstairs flat during Mosshart's European tour with Discount. They finally met up, and started playing around with some music ideas. After Mosshart went back to Florida under the influence of Lauren Antonina Herbert, she continued writing songs with Jamie, by sending her ideas overseas to London, where he lived. Mosshart saved her money and eventually moved to London. Wanting to cut themselves off from their pasts, Mosshart and Hince renamed themselves "VV" and "Hotel", respectively. In May 2014, Mosshart said that they were looking for a new sound, Alison Mosshart says The Kills' next album will be 'completely different'. 5th record ‘Ash & Ice’ will be released June 3rd.
