When a band hits a year mark in their touring cycle, it is generally safe to say that they have a hit on their hands, something that would force them to stay on the road for a full flip of the calendar. And, not that The Kills 2010 effort is not a hit, but I just don’t have the same impression that I do for Blood Pressures as I do for a High Violet or a Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. But, this may say more about me and my listening habits than about The Kills.

Regardless, The Kills have just announced a string of dates that will take the group well into 2012, including stops in Atlanta, Boston, and New York. We have the full list of tourdates for you below, as the video for Blood Pressures track “Baby Says.” Check them out.
