Two young girls make a rash decision to shoplift a skirt and run from the mall being chased by an oafish security guard. The girls laugh all the way to the food court, where they run into the cute new boy from school with the mopish bangs and the outfit entirely from Structure. The skirt is forgotten over shared Frappucinos.
The above paragraph is the television version of A Kiss Could Be Deadly, an 'almost big' band from LA. It's pure, unadulterated pop, wrapped in an 'alternative' package. Complete with uplifting keyboards, 'dangerous' guitar lines, and defiant, yet whiny harmonized female vocals, this band is everything that makes us want the terrorists to win. They list themselves as Electro/New Wave/Punk on myspace. Which is about the same as calling Fall Out Boy 'metal'.
On the other hand, I'm sure they'll make a ton of money from selling their tracks to the O.C. and Gossip Girl. Their new album is called S/T.
This would NEVER get into one of my sets, so I can't give it a time slot. A Kiss Could Be Deadly
