Label GB

Domino

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

The Kills are an indie rock band formed in 2001 by American singer Alison Mosshart, also known as "VV," and British guitarist Jamie Hince, known as "Hotel." With their unique blend of garage rock and blues influences, The Kills have gained a loyal following around the world. Known for their raw and energetic live performances, the duo has released several critically acclaimed albums over the years. Their music is characterized by Mosshart's powerful vocals and Hince's gritty guitar riffs. If you're a fan of alternative rock with a rebellious edge, The Kills are definitely worth checking out.

Midnight Boom sees the Kills - rock's most enigmatic duo - offering their most stunning album yet. Their first album, Keep on Your Mean Side, won widespread critical acclaim, and gained them their ever passionate and devoted cool cult following. when the band returned in 2005 with No Wow, they returned with an edgier, sharper sound that pushed rock 'n' roll boundaries, whilst maintaining their strong ties to the art world. The production on new album 'Midnight Bloom', featuring beats and studio smarts from spank rock' producer Alex Epton aka Armani xxxchange, combined with Alison's confidently teasing vocals, creates a truly forward thinking, fresh new sound for the band. Taking inspiration from 'Pizza Pizza Daddio', a sixties documentary about kids in inner-city schools in the USA, the Kills' Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart started building rhythms influenced by the children's dark playground songs, on an old school hand-punched mpc-60 hip hop drum sequencer. The results are shown in some of the hypnotic original tracks on the album, like 'Cheap and Cheerful'.
