Let's get kooky

Along with several other bands making their rounds in the U.S. this fall are "The Kooks".

With their new single "Shine On" having been such a success so far, I think they'll have quite of bit of fans flooding their shows. Unless of course they have lost all respect since, Luke Pritchard told a British newspaper that he thinks Coldplay are the best band in the world.

I love Coldplay, I do, but I would never say they are the best band in the world. =o/

And then there is the latest fiasco of Pritchard cursing out the VIP section at one of his recent UK shows. Idiot. I can't stand when singers think they own the world.

Here's an older Kooks tune for you to scoop up.

Listen:
The Kooks - "Ooh La" (mp3)

Acoustic rock delight

Yahoo! Music and iTunes have kicked-off an exclusive video partnership with the official unveiling of the new Kooks' promo.

"Shine On" got its first play yesterday and sees the two forces join together for the first time to bring users the best music service in Europe.

"Shine On" is the latest single to be taken from The Kooks' second album, Konk, which came out earlier this year.

Konk was produced by Tony Hoffer and was released on 14 April 2008. In an interview with NME.com, Pritchard revealed that the band have "80 or 90" songs written and ready to record. "I want this album to be big," he said. "I've got an ego - I want the album to do well. I want our singles to come on the radio and for people to literally have their heads blown off by them."

The band will perform at the Isle of Wight festival on June 15th.

Listen:
The Kooks - "See the Sun" (mp3)
The Kooks - "Shine On" (mp3)

Be sure to buy the album, it's a must have!
