Kings of Leon on Tour

    It seems that I have been listening to this band more and more each and every day.  I can remember driving in the car and listening to 92.9 WBOS (because its more music less blah blah blah...) and hearing KOL (Kings of Leon abbrev) hit song "Use Somebody" for the first time. Might I add that I love listening to 92.9 WBOS because it seems like they play the hits before they actually become hits-if that makes any sense.  "Use Somebody" seemed to be playing on  there for months before the song actually became a hit and was played on popular radio stations such as 92.3 (92 pro FM Providence) etc.
Anyways...
There is something very haunting in this song that I can't seem to put my finger on  It seems so primal and desperate in a sense.  I think it is not only the guitar work, but that wailing sound that comes from drummer Nathan Followill.  The song just builds and builds and reaches a huge anticipated climax at the end of the song.  Its everything that a listener would want in a song and more.  I love how the song starts with a bang and then the "Oh waho Oh waho wahoooo!" ( good impression right?) then it suddenly gets quiet and then Anthony Followill sings the opening versus.  Suddenly, Cameron Followill comes in with the guitar along with the fast pace drums once again.  Words can't even describe this song.  Although it is going on a over a year old, it still sends shivers up my spine.  Grab a sweater and take a look at this video.


  You may be wondering.."Why is she writing to me of a song that has been on the radio for a year?"  Well, I am for two reasons, 1.) It's just that good...still.  and 2.)  Kings of Leon has released a new album and is currently on tour.  The brother band is coming to the Boston TD Banknorth on Sunday, November 14th 2010.  The new album is entitled "Come Around Sundown" and their single is on the radio today.  That song is called "Radioactive" and its awesome.  Again, harmonies are right on along with great instrumental use and range.  I wish I could see them live in Boston!  I heard they put on an amazing show, so please if you can, try and see them this coming weekend.  I wish I could!
