I think they're relatively wellknown here in Belgium. The most recent shows have been at our biggest festivals though. But earlier they always played in the AB, which has a capacity of about 500 people I guess, and I'm pretty sure they'll play in something like that too next time they come over, it's not that common to let 'rockbands' play huge domes or something. Unless we're speaking about U2 or Metallica, lol.
I reckon they'll get more popular now, cause they released Fans as their new single here, and they can't stop playing it on the radio.

Seriousy? I never heard Fans on the radio. I want to hear it too! They probably play it on Studio Brussel I guess ..

But you're right, they're starting to become more and more popular over here, seeing as how there were massive crowds watching them at both festivals they played here.
It stills frustrates me when my friends reply my speeches about KoL with: 'You mean that band with the cute bassist?' Uh, yeah, that band .

At the time of Pukkelpop, they had played loads of time... On studio Brussels..

^^^^^ i asked the security gaurd at the horden pavillion, andhe said it holds 5, 500 people. and both shows sold out. so thats pretty remarkable. but, they are kol. o'course theyre gonna have sold out shows. its sooo damn freaky how much their fan base has grown. they must be proud. incredible.

I could have sworn the hordern held more than 5000... Oh well. Still not a bad turn out.

Both times ive seen them, it was in quite a small Venue, VERY small compared to huge festivals they do. Im suprised they still play small venues, but very grateful I hope they keep playing them!

It really surprises how in Argentina they aren't as big as they are in the UK or most parts of the world.

I find their popularity a bit weird in Holland. They get lots of airplay, they play big venues & headline festivals, but the general consensus is that they're arrogant assholes (based on lack of interacting with the crowd, but I also blame radio DJs for constantly saying it, which makes non-fans believe they ARE & I always have to defend them... ) and I don't know anyone who's an actual fan. Everyone I mention them to, who knows them, thinks they're 'an okay band with pretty good songs' i.e. the type of band you go see when they play a festival cos you wanna know what the fuss is about.

I'm from Brazil and, recently, they did a show here (oct/20) that was pretty crowded. They were very impressed with the number os fans they've got around here (there was over 30 thousand ppl there). It was oh-so-perfect! They have to come back soon!
