Thursday, June 5th - The Kooks with the Morning Benders

SHOW IS SOLD OUT!!

Who are The Kooks you ask? Well if you haven't heard of them by now, you should be hearing of them shortly. They're pretty big in the blogosphere as well as their homeland of the U.K. Their debut album, Inside In/Inside Out, sold over two million albums worldwide and has gone quadruple platinum, becoming the 5th highest selling album of 2006, as well as the 2nd biggest debut, second only to the Arctic Monkeys! Entertainment Weekly says, "This Brighton quartet has skill and charm … scrappy little melody bombs, mixing Beatles-y harmonies with a blast of punk aggression." Known for putting on a great live show, these boys will be at the TLA on Thursday, June 5th in support of their newest album, Konk, which hit stores on April 15th.

After a killer album like Inside In/Inside Out, Konk had a lot to live up to. But no worries for the Kooks, Konk is a hit. All Music Guide said, "the Kooks and this album are positively electrifying...Everything about this album shouts masterpiece, a set that will thrill listeners for years, nay decades, to come." Their breezy indie pop sound has been taken up a notch on Konk with the addition of heavier electric guitars. The Kooks could be considered infectious with the catchiness of their music, every song is meant to be a hit single. Sunshiney, pop tunes will fill the TLA on Thursday June 5th.
