The Kooks Return to Toronto
Named after the song on David Bowie’s Hunky Dory, the Kooks met while attending Brighton Music College in the mid-2000s. Each shared a liking for the Police, the Strokes, the Everly Brothers, and Funkadelic, and the bandmates began funneling such influences into their own sweet and precocious sound in 2005. The Kooks’ debut full-length, Inside In/Inside Out, arrived in January 2006. The band is reportedly working on new material for a new album and will be ‘testing’ out new material at shows over the course of the summer.
The Kooks will be gracing Toronto with their presence on June 4th at the Kool Haus. Tickets are on sale now.
Classic Kooks track and video below…maybe not ‘classic’ but very, very solid.

Well I didn’t make it to the kooks first show back in Feb at the Mod Club. But…Todd did. He is older than I and I admire his drive to search out new music.
We’re both classic rock lovers at heart.. but we both do open up to new music. I enjoyed reading his review and was lucky enough to find some great photos and videos to go along with it. I now have the CD on rotation.
enjoy
