|
|
I had the pleasure of seeing this band at Glastonbury 2004 and thought I would write a piece on them.
The southern rock outfit Kings of Leon include brothers Caleb (guitar), Nathan (drums), and Jared Followill (bass). While they were traveling across America's heartland during the late '80s and '90s with their father, the boys listened to the Rolling Stones and Neil Young.
When the Kings of Leon settled in Nashville in 1998, making music a career was already going ahead. Taking Leon from the names of their father and paternal grandfather, the Followill family formed a band in 2000 and added their cousin Matthew to the group.
Within months a southern garage rock sound quickly emerged. A deal with RCA was to follow in 2001 and their Holy Roller Novocaine EP appeared two years later. Tours across North America and the UK coincided with the release of Youth and Young Manhood in summer 2003.
Success is a sure thing with this band, they are brilliant live and I really recommend you guys to have a listen!
