Wanting to cut themselves off from their pasts, Mosshart and Hince considered their new project to be Year Zero in their careers, so they renamed themselves "VV" and "Hotel" respectively and began writing sparse, minimalist songs together with the aid of a drum machine. In 2001 they showcased their new songs on a well received demo tape. In true punk rock fashion, however, the pair shunned approaches from major record labels. Recording as VV and Hotel, they contributed the song "Restaurant Blouse" to the compilation If the Twenty-First Century Did Not Exist, It Would Be Necessary to Invent It. Shortly after this they recorded their debut release, the Black Rooster EP, which saw release on British indie label Domino Records and was picked up for distribution by Dim Mak Records in the United States.
Following international touring, they entered Toe Rag studios to record their debut album Keep on Your Mean Side, mostly on 8-track, in just 2 weeks.
Popular indie band, the xx, name The Kills as the major influence for having a male/female lead singer combo: http://edition.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/05/xx.interview/index.html?iref=allsearch
Their second album, No Wow, was released by Domino records on February 21, 2005. Featuring an artier, less guitar rock sound, the record embraced New Wave and post punk influences and sounded even more stripped down than Keep on Your Mean Side. The first single, The Good Ones, was released on February 7, 2005 and reached number 23 in the UK singles charts.
VV sang the song Meds on Placebo's 2006 eponymous album.
Their third album Midnight Boom was released March 10, 2008. It was followed by 5 different singles since its release.
Night Train
The Kills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't remember
Won't a couple of years do some good for you
No, your eyes
Got bigger
All my lovers take the train
All my lovers, all my love
The lyrics to The Kills's song Night Train are enigmatic, but evocative. The song tells a story of taking a train ride at night, where one can sleep tight with no worries. The first line conveys a sense of comfort and relief, but it also hints at some deeper emotional pain that is being temporarily muted. The second line, "I don't remember," further underscores the idea of forgetting or trying to forget something. The next line, "Won't a couple of years do some good for you," suggests that the singer is encouraging someone to move on and forget the pain of the past. However, the final line of the stanza, "No, your eyes got bigger," contradicts this idea, as it implies that the person is becoming more intense or emotional rather than forgetting or healing.
Line by Line Meaning
Sleep tight on the night train, no pain
Rest peacefully while travelling by night train, without any discomfort or agony
I don't remember
I have no recollection
Won't a couple of years do some good for you
Aren't a few years sufficient to benefit you?
No, your eyes
Your eyes tell me otherwise
Got bigger
They have become more prominent
All my lovers take the train
Every person I have loved and been with, travels by train
All my lovers, all my love
All the people I have ever loved or been intimate with, are the sum of my love

First time I heard this song was in the 2009 "Friday the 13th" reboot. Anyone else who's seen that movie knows EXACTLY which scene I'm talking about...

Dude Bree was the best. That scene was outstanding, especially in the Killer Cut. I recommend you watch the Killer Cut, because it’s STUPENDOUS
