About
The Kooks in Concert
Formed in Brighton in 2004, The Kooks achieved mainstream commercial success almost immediately. Taking their name from the title of a David Bowie song, The Kooks signed to the Virgin Records label in 2005 and have not looked back since, enjoying Top 10 singles, No. 1 hit albums and a number of awards along the way.
Influenced by the music of artists such as The Police, The Strokes and The Rolling Stones, friends Luke Pritchard, Hugh Harris, Max Rafferty and Paul Garred formed The Kooks while at Brighton Music College. Just a few months after forming, the band was offered a recording contract with Virgin. The resulting debut album, Inside In/Inside Out, was an immediate smash hit in 2006, reaching No. 2 in the UK album chart, achieving platinum status in both the UK and Ireland, and winning many fans in the US. In 2008, The Kooks returned with another hit album Konk, featuring the tracks “Shine On” and “Always Where I Need to Be.” The Kooks embarked on an extensive tour to help promote the album. The third album from The Kooks, Junk of the Heart, was released in late 2011.
The commercial success of The Kooks has been matched with critical plaudits from their peers and the music industry. The single “She Moves in Her Own Way” was nominated for a BRIT Award in 2007. In 2006, The Kooks were crowned Best UK and Ireland Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards. That same year the band also picked up the UK Festival Award for Best Breakthrough Act. In addition to these wins, The Kooks have also been nominated on a number of occasions for both Q Awards and NME Awards.

by Vickyyyy on 7/29/14Paradise Rock Club - BostonThe Kooks were amazing live! It was hands down my favorite show I've been to by far and I've been to dozens. Luke's voice is simply amazing and he had some funny but cute dance moves and had the crowd dancing the entire time. The vibes in that venue were great and it was overall an unforgettable night and I didn't want it to end. I hope they come back to Boston soon!!!

by Deesher on 7/29/14Paradise Rock Club - BostonThe Kooks were fantastic! Great live performers that I would highly recommend. I think they're ready for a larger venue though, like maybe the House of Blues.
Rating: 5 out of 5by Sammalamma on 7/29/14Paradise Rock Club - Boston Absolutely the best concert I've ever been to. I heard that the Kooks were amazing live and I'm so happy I was able to experience my favorite band for myself. Luke's energy is wild, fun, and contagious. I was dancing the whole time and smiling from ear to ear. They all have such a great chemistry onstage and they sound incredible.

by Blacklabs13 on 7/29/14Paradise Rock Club - BostonThis review may be slightly bias as I am Kooky for the Kooks, but here goes. The venue and acustics always fade into the background when the Kooks play. I have too much fun dancing and singing along to notice any difficulties the band is having. The four of them preform very well and don't let little glitches (there was a mic and guitar problem at Paradise) hold them back. I was lucky enough to be really close to the stage, reaching up whenever I could. Luke was great at engaging the crowd and he introduced the songs from the bands' new album 'Listen' that had yet to be released, so we could follow along easily. Attempts to get the crowd clapping never work -- but they tried :) Overall a great show. I brought my mom (yes my mom). She loved it -- is fairly hip though, and has all of their albums. I recommend. I recommend. I recommend. If you like indie alternative from the UK, this is for you!
