The Kooks

[stersita]

I heard many songs but fell in love...madly...with NAIVE.

The voice in that song is damn hot and I simply can't get enough. And I think the video matches the song really well...just PERFECT!!

I agree with all of this Naive's gotta be my fav

I literally can't stop listening to this band, theyre so addicting!

 

[so_jealous]

I just discovered them recently after watching an awful interview on the New Music. (Hannah Sung just don't get it.) I first thought the lead singer was really cute then I realized their music is really addicting. Oh and in the interview they talked about Max's vintage Chanel purse. hehe...oh..<3 It was really nice.

[cheiby11]

I love thier music a LOT. But I've never seen them - Boho Babe thank you for posting pics.... they are cuties

Your most welcome!
We'll probably get some new pictures if they're doing the festival thing..

 

[SanSalvadorGirl]

They have some nice songs, definitely. But they are so overplayed here in the UK...I'm getting tired of them already. Plus: They seem/sound quite childish...how old are they?

 

[bluejeans]

to me the kooks are everything thats wrong with music at the moment. it's bland and meaningless. the record companys push bands like this for exactly those reasons. the can market them to little kids who think theyre geting 'real' music (whatever that is) without their parents (who actualy pay for the records) getting offended by whats being said in them.

 

[skinny_boho]

^the sad thing is that the indie business is becoming fashionable and overloaded as the mainstreaming one.

 

[boho_babe]

To you they may be bland and meaningless but clearly not everyone is of the same opinion. They're certainly not my fav. band and yes, they've been overplayed in the UK but Who cares? If people enjoy listening to the music, and it put's a smile on their face then surely thats what its about?

And perhaps soon, they'll be the same 'taboo' about Indie music as their is with Pop?

 

[bluejeans]

of course the fact that people enjoy the music and it puts a smile on their face is important. i just don't like the way we have this rubbish forced down our throats, especaly at the expence of other (in my opinion) more worthy music. for the most part if a single is going to get to number 1 it will enter the charts at number 1. this wasn't always the case. a record would work its way up the charts thrugh word of mouth and gradualy increaseing airplay. thease days without the backing of a majour label to make shure they get apperices on kids tv and play on comercal radio a record stands little chance. for me, the kooks are just the apitemy of this. the only reason the lables are pushing acts like the kooks rather than for example the backstreet boys, as they would have ten years ago is that yes, there is a stigma attatched to manafactured pop thease days.

Oh I love 'Seaside'

I think the main singer is so cute. But I just cannot picture him and Katie Melua together. They look too alike.

 

[Tess]

I didnt know they were together..

 

[Meg]

They used to date. Apparently She Moves In Her Own Way and Ooh-La are about her but thats just a rumor, not confirmed in any way

 

[Tess]

oh! I never knew that! cool, thanks for the info

 

[skinny_boho]

I heard that every single Kooks's groupie has to be blonde... it's a weird thing but it seems they only like blonde girls

 

[fairy]
