Since I don't know how I feel about the KOL (or half of them anyway) being in the front row at fashion week, I'm going to do what I always do, which is just go drool over old videos and pictures, and the likes. 
And in case you want to join me, here is one of my favorite performances by them (and forgive me, as this is probably a repost and not new(s) or anything... 
) ... one of my favorite songs of theirs, and definitely their best live performance of it (in my opinion). 
Let me count the things I love ...
1. Caleb's hair.
2. The piled on silver necklaces and crucifix Caleb is wearing.
3. Caleb's black tank top.
4. Nathan's hair. (This was a good hair year for all of them actually).
5. Their shoes.
6. The way Caleb scrunches up his brow and sings with such earnest with his eyes almost shut.
7. The back-up the rest of the band delivers on the "good time to roll on" bit, sounds amazing.
8. The way Matt rather juts his chin forward, and opens his mouth, and jerks his head while singing "good time to roll on".
9. The way Jared seems to strum his bass so casually.
10. How Caleb holds the "on" note at the end (why couldn't he have done that on the recording?!)
11. The way Caleb flicks his arm and throws up both his hands at the very end.
And...I think I might need therapy to get over my addiction to KOL (and noticing all the details)!

I really love the Hammersmith Apollo Live because of its setlist and the crowd! Man, the crowd was going crazy during Four Kicks!
King of the Rodeo is one of my favorite songs by KOL (and is my ringtone).

I really do hope that their next album goes back to their original sound a bit more, and I think that now that they're so popular, that they might just do that because now people are so much more aware of their old and new sounds, etc. I love them either way, sell outs or not, and honestly? I just hope I get to see these guys in concert at least ONCE, because I've been trying for years!
I think it's kind of silly for people to give them crap about sitting front row to a fashion show, especially Rag & Bone. It's not like they were front row center to Chanel or anything. They were clearly there in support of Lily. Give the guys a break. They're big now, we gotta get used to it.

At this point I'm a little tired of hearing people whine about it as well. Everyone always just echoes eachother anyway and it gets a little repetitive.

The argument of old songs versus new songs or old fans versus new fans, definitely gets old. I like every single album of theirs, and I'm not going to stop liking them just because they're more popular now, as long as they still make good music, I don't care that much.
However, I guess the reason why I don't always like seeing at some of these celebrity type scenes, is how it might influence their music. When I think about "celebrity" singers and musicians, so many of them, have weak, shallow, poorly written lyrics and songs, (which admittedly they don't always write themselves), but if they're writing from life, and all they do are these silly little Hollywood/celebrity type things, go to glitzy clubs, get fake tans, and bleach their hair, etc... well no wonder those things don't ever lead to the production of profound music.
I can at least say, as an artist, what I soak in from my surroundings, and environment, and experiences, and from the people I'm around, again and again shows through in my art. In the case of KOL, I think their unique background and childhood, and such as, influenced their music in a refreshing and interesting manner. And I just don't want them to start living a cardboard copy celebrity lifestyle, because I can easily see their music getting stale from that.
I don't know if this makes any sense here, and maybe I'm well wrong, but I really love not only their music, the sounds themselves, but the lyrics to their songs, and hope their fame doesn't cause them to completely loose who they are, or cause them to loose their good taste...they say you can't learn good taste, but I just hope their good taste isn't also something that can be lost.
Okay, end rant, sorry. You know I can't help but include my two cents.
