    Any of you familiar with them?
    I bought their latest CD last night and have listened through twice. It's pretty different.....great drummer and bass player.....average on the guitar at best. The vocals are very different - to me any way - kind of like scream/whine/moan thing going on.
    I really like the first track - She gonna have my baby - it's pretty catchy...and 7+ minutes long.
    They would really fit in at Bonaroo.
    I think almost everybody here is familiar with them and like them.
    i saw them at Werchter and Ed went on stage with them for one song.

    Kings Of Leon opening again?! If so, you are in for a treat!
    Didn't know them 'till I heard "On Call" and I was sold!
    Gonna see them for the first time on this years Roskilde Festival and I can't wait.
    The sun in my eyes, a cold beer in my hand and Kings Of Leon playing "McFearless" on the orange stage. It's gonna be sweet!!:D:D:D

    you sound like they are a small band? This is their 3rd album and the first 2 are better in my opinion... I don't think it's that different but I have been a fan for a about 5 years now. Seen them about 4 times and they are a great live band.
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    I love you forever and forever :)

    Behind the fringe of a whiskey high
    mutiliating cat like eyes
    and in your nose blood decadence
    you try to drag me into your bohemian dancing
    you paint my fingers and you paint my toes
    you let your perfect nipple show

    I'm passed out in your garden
    i'm in I can't get off
    so soft
    I'd pop myself in your body
    I'd come into your party
    but
    I'M SOFT

    I think I am almost as excited to see KOL as I am to see PJ! There is a few live songs on Itunes that you should check out. It has a lot of my favorites on it. They will grow on you...keep listening! :)

    Same here... I'm not very familiar with Ted Leo. KoL rocks! I saw them at the Tabernacle in Atlanta and I can't wait to check them out next time they are in town. Awesome energy, great music... Pearl Jam with Kings of Leon sounds like a dream show... I can't believe I'm going to DC and not Tampa or WPB... *bangs head against the wall*

    Big Ed - do me a favor. Listen to nothing but KoL and live PJ shows until June 16. KoL is gonna grow on you brother. That is all I've been listening to lately. They kick f'n ass. their music is different - takes adapting to - but then you start to tune in to their sense of humor and overall approach to their art.

    then you are hooked.

    Because Of The Times is one of the only albums that I loved the very first time I listened to it.

    Gotta love the Southern Garage KOL, too.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    as the KOL like to say:

    "we may not be your favorite band, but we are your favorite band's favorite band,..."
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    That was my third chance to see them live. I'm looking forward to a fourth in Va Beach with PJ.

    I'm hooked. I've listened to their new CD all weekend and it is really, really good. I am going to get their first 2 ASAP. Sooo looking forward to hearing them live. Thanks for all the responses.

    He is quite the multi-tasker.

    Smoking, wiping his face, tipping back a beer, chatting with his tech, I think I even saw him take a picture...all without missing a drumstroke.

    That one's got talent.

    My brothers friend told me to check them out about two years ago. For some reason I didnt check them out till about 5-6 months ago. I wish I would have gone out and listened to them when my brothers friend told me too. They are a great band.
    Shows:
    San Diego 2003
    Grand Rapids 2004
    Grand Rapids 2006
    Detroit 2006
    Columbus 2010

    I wish I was seeing them they are awesome. Instead I gotta listen to Ted Leo sing out of tune.
