The Kills ***Fader Fort ***03.12.08 *** I missed the Kills last time they were at SXSW with their debut album. I was determined not to miss them again and they did not disappoint. It’s crazy but I always think that lead singer Allison Mossheart is in a permanent state of sedation because of how stoic […]

N.E.R.D. Chad, Pharrell, and Homeslice will be releasing Seeing Sounds late June 2008. The real story is that Chad and Pharrell are back!
