After the Midnight Boom, you'd expect a little 1 a.m. quietude-- accompanied, ideally, by some snoozin' through the wee hours. But since raggedy UK twosome the Kills made their big Midnight Boom this spring? They've been rock'n'rolling all night, and at least part of ev-er-y day.

They'll keep it up on an intercontinental tour throughout the summer and fall, which finds them tooling around North America for a spell with those Raconteurs. Nothing like a bunch of dudes who "excel in telling anecdotes" to keep one up past their bedtime, eh, Webster?
