The Kills will release an acoustic EP digitally and on vinyl on June 2nd as part of their 15th anniversary celebrations.
Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince have recorded acoustic versions of the Ash & Ice track That Love, Rihanna’s Desperado and Wait from their first ever release, the Black Rooster EP, for Echo Home – Non-Electric EP.
Steve Aoki, owner of Dim Mak, has taken this opportunity to look back on the release of Black Rooster. “Many moons ago, back in 2002, I had to make a decision whether to pursue a Ph.D. Program or continue with my label Dim Mak & after hearing a demo from The Kills and becoming the first American label to release their EP Black Rooster, I knew what path I was going to choose,” he’s said.
“They took me under their wing and I hit the road with them as their tour manager, merch guy, driver (we all took turns) and label. I’ll never forget that and love Jamie and Alison forever. Thank you for believing in lil me when not many people gave two shits about Dim Mak and what we were doing. Ride or Die.”
