Hello Board,

Looks like XFM Radio is getting a big EXCLUSIVE for the Kings! The XFM show "Lauren Lavern's Drivetime Show" will be play the 1st single "The Bucket" by the Kings of Leon on Tuesday, Aug. 31st at 4:15 pm! Here's a cut n paste of the article about this and with the confirmed, official tracklisting for "A-Ha Shake Heartbreak" ;-):

Kings of Leon Unveil New Album

Kings Of Leon have revealed details of their upcoming new album ‘A-Ha Shake Heartbreak’ and their new single, the charmingly titled ‘The Bucket’ and Xfm has all the release info right here.

The follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed debut ‘Youth And Young Manhood’, ‘A-Ha Shake Heartbreak’ will be released on November 1. The first single to be taken from it will be ‘The Bucket’ which hits shops on October 25.

Xfm will also be getting the world exclusive first playback of the single next Tuesday (August 31) at 4.15pm on Lauren Lavern’s Drivetime Show.

The band recorded the album with Ryan Adams, Counting Crows producer Ethan Johns over five weeks 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," drummer Nathan Followill explained to Rolling Stone, "On the last record there were no expectations, because we had no fans and we had never made music before. On this one we knew what we wanted, and we were very comfortable and confident."

"There are definitely songs on there that you hear and think, 'That's the Kings of Leon'" Nathan continued, "And then there are songs that take three or four listens to realize that it's us."

Kings of Leon are undertaking a US tour in October, with UK dates expected to follow sometime shortly afterwards.

The full tracklisting for ‘A-Ha Shake Heartbreak’ is:

'Slow Nights, So Long'
'King Of The Rodeo'
'Taper Jean Girl'
'Pistol Of Fire'
'Milk'
'Bucket'
'Soft'
'Razz'
'Day Old Blues'
'4 Kicks'
'Velvet Snow'
'Re-memo'

There you go, if your wondering, I read this news on the Official KingsOfLeon website (www.kingsofleon.com). ;-) After hearing the 5 live Kings new songs, I know this will be a GREAT second effort from the moonshin' boys of Leon ;-)! Thanks for listening and see you all again soon with more! Peace!

Loving the song "Soft",

Hello again Board,

Your very correct Sel, the only question that I have is what time here in the States would I have to tune in online to hear it? I live in the Eastern Time Zone, that is about a 5 hour difference between here and London..hmm. "The Bucket" will be played at 4:15 pm GMT, so I guess I would have to listen at 11:15 am EST to hear it on time, right?? Oh, this will make next week great, and if anyone here on the Board is able to record it off the radio, could you please send me a MP3 of it at: [e-mail]? ;-) Thanks again for the info Sel, and see you all again soon ;-)! Peace!

Sincerely,
JamiroFan2000
