RS Article: Kings "Shake" America January 2005!!!

[JamiroFan2000]

Hello Board of Fook,

Looks like I didn't have trouble logging on for a post this time...hehe. Anyhoo, I found a new article about the Kings on RollingStone.com, you know, the Worse American Music Magazine that takes 2-3 months to cover great new music. Hehe, ok ok, I might have been a little too harsh there, but it's the honest truth, I can only dream for a American Music Magazine of the important margin of NME..*Sighs happily*! Anyhoo, I digress, the new upcoming Kings of Leon sophmore album will be "shakin'" the states in Jan. 2005. :-) Here's a cut N paste of the article ;-):

Kings of Leon Get Shakin'

Band preps second album for January

Nashville rockers Kings of Leon will release their second album, A-Ha Shake Heartbreak, in January. The band reteamed with producer Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Counting Crows) to record the follow-up to 2003's Youth and Young Manhood earlier this summer in Studio City, California.
"We played so many shows and saw so much stuff, that when we got time off, it was just pouring out," says drummer Nathan Followill of the five-week, twelve-song recording stint, which yielded the likes of "Pistol of Fire," "Razz," "Soft" and "Milk." "On the last record there were no expectations, because we had no fans and we had never made music before," Followill says. "On this one we knew what we wanted, and we were very comfortable and confident."

Kings of Leon -- Nathan and brothers Caleb (guitar, vocals) and Jared (bass), and cousin Matthew (guitar) -- have broadened their sound from the bluesy roots of Youth and Young Manhood, and the new material reflects such diverse influences as Run-DMC, Talking Heads and the Ronettes. "There are definitely songs on there that you hear and think, 'That's the Kings of Leon,'" Nathan says, "and then there are songs that take three or four listens to realize that it's us."

Kings of Leon will head out on an East Coast U.S. tour in October.

Hehe, well that will be a heck for us American fans, but I'm sure someone will hook me up with a advance copy of the new album when it becomes readily available to "connected fans" (Gives a wink to Sarah). Thanks for listening, enjoy this article and Peace!
