Mosshart and Hince both played in other bands before they formed The Kills in 2001. Mosshart was previously the vocalist of punk rock band Discount , while Hince featured in rock bands such as Scarfo and Blyth Power . Mosshart encountered Hince when her band was touring England , where Hince was “staying in the flat upstairs from where [she] was staying” in London . Mosshart insisted on forming a band with Hince and “really persisted, and eventually we started writing and he encouraged me”. Hince supplied her with a four-track tape recorder and insisted she write music as well as lyrics while on tour with her band. The two continued to exchange music ideas by sending each other tapes.
