When they met, it was murder

Having given The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion a serious run for their money last month at the Tivoli, The Kills return to Dublin on May 4 for a show in Whelan's.

They'll be coming armed with a new album, Keep On Your Mean Side, which is reviewed in the next edition of Hot Press.

Also on the bill are The Soledad Brothers, the White Stripes-approved Americans who are being tipped for great things in 2003.
