- The Kooks Konk The New Album Out Now!
- Me, Myself, and I
- April 14th will see the release of 'Konk', the eagerly awaited new album from The Kooks. It is their second album, and the follow-up to their hugely successful 2006 debut 'Inside In/Inside Out' which sold some two million copies worldwide and spawned massive singles 'She Moves In Her Own Way', 'You Don't Love Me', 'Sofa Song', 'Eddie's Gun', 'Ooh La' and 'Naïve'.
'Konk' was recorded over a six week period at the tail-end of 2007 in Ray Davies' Konk Studios in north London, plus a week at Los Angeles' Sound Factory. The sessions once again united the group with esteemed producer Tony Hoffer (Beck/Air/The Fratellis). Explaining how he came to suggest the album title, guitarist Hugh says, 'I just started thinking how cool the studio is, and how much of a part of our sound it is.'
'Konk' features twelve tracks. There's 'Gap' which is classic Kooks, and 'Shine On' which finds Luke exploring hitherto unchartered lyrical territory over the loveliest of melodies. It's destined to become another lynchpin in The Kooks' live set. First single 'Always Where I Need To Be' is a tumbling rocker with a 'do-do-do, do-do-do-do' refrain that might just be the catchiest thing they've ever done. 'Sway' and 'Mr Maker' are other album highlights.
The Kooks second album 'Konk' is out now!

The Kooks LIVE in the streets of LA?
If you happen to be in the area of Westwood Village Theatre around 330pm on Tuesday, May 20th you might be one of the lucky people to catch The Kooks performing live acoustic. Watch out, they could just walk around the block and visit the folks at UCLA.
The boys also have a craving for some snacks at the Canter's deli around 9pm. You never know, they might just walk next to The Kibitz Room for a jam session. I heard it's first come first serve (for 21+ please) at the Kibitz Room and it holds only 50 people!0 Comments 547 days
