The Kills will make their return to late night television tonight on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, where the glamorous electro-blues duo will perform "Future Starts Slow," the anxious, moody opening track from their latest record Blood Pressures. The band can always be counted on for an intense, sexually charged performance, so it should be a pretty memorable appearance.

The Cars - The Colbert Report, Comedy Central 11:30 p.m.

Cage the Elephant - Tonight Show with Jay Leno, NBC 11:35 p.m.

Luke Bryan - Jimmy Kimmel Live, ABC 12:00 a.m.

The Kills - Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, NBC 12:35 a.m.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
