The Kill Devil Hills + Kino Motel
with Mightiest of Guns
John Curtin Hotel (Carlton, VIC)
Friday, 14 February 2025 8:00 pm
THE KILL DEVIL HILLS are heading East for 2 very special shows in Naarm Melbourne and Wadawurrung Ballarat on Feb 14 and 15 2025. An entrancing, visceral and emotive live act, this is one of those special Australian-mutant bands that only remote continents can cough up, a species confined to islands, fever-dreams, and occasionally to strut the stage a while.
Joined by beach goths KINO MOTEL, hot off their debut album release and extensive European touring, the band are a Melbourne via Berlin 3-piece who push the dynamic range to extremes in both directions. Control and beauty and darkness featuring Ed Fraser (Cash Savage & The Last Drinks) and Rosa Mercedes (Josephine Foster Band).
Opening the Curtin show are local alt-country stalwarts MIGHTIEST OF GUNS. Self-described "Naarm based sad bastards", their thunderous, dark, gutter country tunes will awaken the spirits.
Expect a night of dark alt-country, with hints of grunge, post-punk and Australian gothic thrown in to the mix.
