Anyone seen em live, are they any good? I'm off to see em wednesday, can't wait.

I have they were average to be honnest.

I walked off after 2 and a half songs at Oxegen, though they might be better indoors in a small venue.

they are alright live better than on record but you have to cut your way through a mass of seething teenage girls

Surely that's a better reason to go than to listen to the music.

Sounds crap, i'm not gunna go now anyway, really cant afford it either.

Are you being serious?

You start off by saying "I cant wait to see them live", and after a few average posts saying "they're ok live not that good though" you've decided not to bother.

:soapy tit wank: i wouldn't see them live. tbh im fucking sick of hearing their songs now

have you already got tickets beckett??? If you have i'll buy them off you if you dont want to go??? :nod:

Go. Don't change your mind on a few peoples views.

Yeah, i'm gunna go now. got a lift in now, my mate said they're good live so i'll go.

The Kooks were absloutely awesome last night, nice venue as well. Also Larrikan Love, they were a great supporting band.

saw them and thought they were shit but then again i was smashed out of my head so they could have been brilliant but i thought they were shit!

Would like to see The Kooks but am quite fed up of the "let's like them because of everybody else does" attitude towards them!

They're worth seeing very good live heard some of their new songs too.

I wouldn't really say that about the Kooks, well not yet atleast.

The two artists/bands I would say have the "everybody else likes them, so it's cool to like them" factor are The Streets and Arctic Monkeys, who in my opinion, are both shit.

I liked The Kooks' album but I've heard their songs too much now, thank you very much.

i know what you mean. i like Arctic Monkeys. ive got time for them. its a lot of the other bands i dont like such as the Killers, Kooks, Razorlight. they are more commercial than the Arctic Monkeys and they all sound the same really

If anyone likes the Kooks and are interested; they are playing the Oasis on Wednesday 23rd April; tickets go on sale Thursday or Friday.

Ace!

Seriously? Getting myself in the que !

One of the worst bands I've ever had the experience of watching, turgid indie crap, just like Razorshite, The Pigeon Detectives, Millburn, and soon the Courteeners.

The Kooks are a vastly over-rated band

In your opinion.

and mine

I concur.

Errr yeah.  :shrug:

Each to their own.

They are rubbish, FACT! Out of all the bands i have seen they are maybe in my bottom 3 with PJ Harvey and Lou Reed!

I like them. Very catchy pop songs. Will be going to the oasis gig.

I quite enjoyed them at Glastonbury last year although the drink and err ‘atmosphere’ probably helped grease the wheels.

Nothing ground breaking but a decent hour and a half of music to of bounce, perve and drink to.

I had a shocker with Lou Reed as well Dan.  Poor fella had a can thrown at him he was that bad.  

Aside from that Morrisey has been my biggest let down for opening with a storming set but throwing it all away with moaning about radio one and then having the gall to advertise some sort of mobile download service the grubby little oik.  Lost the crowd and it was pretty much downhill from there.

Definitely give him another try mind.

Anyway, talking of Music anyone for Glastonbury this year?  Registration starts on the 1st of Feb.

Think we’re going for a tepee this year.  Comes with free hot showers, private toilets, private camping area and is (at least it was last year) in a dead on spot near Lost Vagueness.

I camped right next to the teepee field and lost vagueness last time I went, good place to pitch but you need to be there on the first morning to get a spot.

hoping to make glasto, got find some people to go with! wouldnt mind V festival again this year, its pretty commercial but the rumoured lineup looks pretty ace! Who is rumoured for glasto?

I'll be registering. At the moment i dont think i'll bother going, but i want to be in the hat just in case.

I think Eavis mentioned a black New York headliner, which could be Jayz or Kanye although he's always pulling names out of his arse this time of year to mislead the press.

I'd like to see a bit of Primal Scream aside from that I've made a vow to stay off the main stage as much as possible this year and check out some of the smaller stages.

I have seen Kanye West and he was superb, would love to see him again! The prodigy are rumoured for v festival and that would be a big pull for me, one of the best live acts i have seen! Also rumoured are muse and the verve!
