I thought that the Kills kicked ass! I really liked their show, but they were not at all happy to be playing mid-day in the Texas heat--and they didn't mind letting the crowd know that they weren't happy with their agent for the booking.
You would have thought they were being tortured....and not being paid. Other bands--from places like Canada (Stars and City and Colour) and other parts north of the Mason-Dixon--played in equally hot conditions wearing equally heavy black rock and roll attire without the drama.
I truly wonder why that was. Again. I like the band and loved their set, but I was surprised at their apparent surprise about the temperature.
