I just want all fans and everyone to know how pumped I am for this show. It will be my first PJ show since 2005 and my first KOL show ever. Anyone have any idea if they ever grace the stage at the same time?

She stole my karma oh no!!!

    Unfortunately, Ed does come out and sing with KOL on one of their horrible, horrible songs.


    Sorry, KOL fans, I find them an extremely crappy band.

    Ed has been known to come out and do "Slow Night, So Long" with them which usually closes their set... They put on a great show. You won't be disappointed.

    Their music is okay. They looked like zombies onstage at Lolla, though.

    KoL are my second favorite band right now... They ruled at Lollapalooza last summer and Ed came out for one song; Slow Night, So Long.

    Anyway, he tore up a couple tamborines and rocked out on lyrics too.

    Sweet show and I'm so pissed I'm missing the upcoming dates. Just can't justify flying to the east coast from Co Springs when it's widely rumored this tour will continue after this. Here's to hoping Kat is just playing word games with "planned".

    Don't miss KoL. Check out the entire Because of the Times album to start; I really like McFearless. It's more rock-like. Aha Shake Heartbreak is a little more alternative and takes awhile to get used to. Caleb's voice is good, but definitely original.

    Have fun for me!

    aaaagh .... totally not my experience.

    Here's a youtube of EV with KOL ... Slow Night, So Long ... such a great tune.

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=H4ZG4_fOoNc

    All three albums are great ... they're a straight forward kick ass rock band with a southern feel ... but nothing too twangy or .38 Special-ish.

    KOL puts on a *great* show.

    Albums -

    Youth and Young Manhood - Both "Red Morning Light" and "Molly's Chambers" have been used recently in commercials (even though the songs are on the older side for these guys) ... youtube would have them. Joe's Head and Happy Alone, other good tunes on this album. California Waiting, love that tune.

    Aha Shake Heartbreak - the afore mentioned "Slow Night, So Long" fantastic closing tune ... The Bucket, probably the most commercial of tunes on this album. Soft, Taper Jean Girl, King of the Rodeo ... other standouts.

    Because of the Times - On Call, the song that "broke" them into the mainstream ... and really, not one of my faves. The lead off song on this album, Knocked Up ... love it, beautiful sounding guitar. My Party makes you shake your ass and Charmer rips my face off ... love that tune.

    Try all three albums. Seriously, as diverse as they are, you'll find completely different stuff that you like on each.

    These guys F-ing ROCK, I actually hung out and drank with them at the Borgata in '05 (the year they opened for U2 on the A-Bomb tour)...real cool dudes, very nice, almost quiet in person...but I've seen them a bunch of times and you can expect Ed coming out for SNSL fo' sho'...I'm jealous I'm not going to Va Beach, might still make it happen!
    I met my wife here...you can too! Don't lose hope!

    I'm strongly considering traveling to VA Beach, just to see Kings. PJ would be the cherry on top.

    I'm so bummed they're not doing any of the MSG/Mansfield dates.

    Sure, they may be a bit statue-like on stage, but they put on a great show. Their set at Lolla was great.

    Most people here have hit on the albums. All three are terriffic. From the newest album, check out Fans or Black Thumbnail.....definitely two great rock songs. The whole album is fantastic.

    Ted Leo .... while I'll admit an arena like MSG is going to be a bit big for him, I'm tellin' ya, he's pretty awsome .... his live shows rock.

    I am so f'in pumped that KOL are opening for PJ!! I saw them open for U2 in seattle in '05 but I didn't know much about them at that point. After seeing them at Lolla this past year, I really got into them. They are definitely my second or third favorite band (after PJ and a toss up for 2nd with MMJ). My wife and I are flying to Tampa to see the show and one main reason for us going is KOL opening. Rock on!

    Eddie didnt come out when they played together the first time ever... maybe he was shy :p i'd actually say they hadn't spoken too much.

    KOL best ever opener for PJ :p

    I had the pleasure of seeing them live late last year in Ft. Lauderdale. They are a GREAT rock N Roll band. I think this will be one of the better opening bands you'll see.

    I was pumped when I started this thread and after reading all your responses I am even more excited. I wish it was June 11th. PJ concert days are one of my favorite type of days.

    I saw ed come on stage in sydney for one of their songs. Pretty cool....

    The bucket, on call, are just a couple. I like them more now then from when I saw them which is a shame.

    And then the new song which is the song for that Ford Edge commercial or whatever. I don't know its name but that one is good too. Singer has a pretty interesting voice.

    read post #15 :)

    Check out the album "Aha Shake Heartbreak". It blew my mind.

    "Because of the Times" is also really good, but I would hold back on that until you're feeling Aha Shake Heartbreak.

    Also, find the song "Trani". This is a must. They close their shows with it and it seriously rocks.

    I am so pumped for this show. In 06 it was MMJ opening, now it's one of my other top 3 artists! Waaaah

    I saw KOL last summer at Bumbershoot- I was in the first row!
    I had never seen them before or even heard their music apart from one song that Ed sang with them last year at Lolla. ( which I heard on youtube)

    They are great- I have the live from Soho mp3s through itunes also Because of the Times.

    I throughly recommend them- I would go see them by themselves- they are old school rock and roll & put on a great show.
