There aren’t many shows that can lure us into the cavernous Terminal 5, but this week’s triple play is sure doing a good job of it. Today and tomorrow, the Kills duo of Alison Mosshart and Mr. Kate Moss — er, Jamie Hince, who recently got hitched to the British supermodel — will be highlighting tunes from their latest, Blood Pressures (Domino, April 2011), which features such diverse tracks as “Satellite,” “Baby Says,” and “The Last Goodbye.” The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have proved themselves one of the most consistent indie bands of the last handful of years in their live shows and on their first two discs, 2009’s eponymously titled debut and March’s follow-up, Belong (Slumberland), which continues their dreamy, well-crafted indie pop. Kicking things off is the loud, feedback-crazed a Place to Bury Strangers, who have been making an impact on such records as 2009’s Exploding Head and their sizzling live performances. Like we said, great lineup, less-than-ideal club, but this one promises a whole lot of heart.
