Kings of Leon are heading out on tour this summer. The opener for the tour is no slouch either--Band of Horses. When I go on about how there is so much great music out there of all genres I am not just talking about little indie bands working in their basements. These two bands are pretty damned good too. If you cannot appreciate the latest Kings of Leon as a rock n roll record I don’t kow what to say.
I have to admit big venues usually suck for shows but you cannot blame the band for that. On those big stages there is where the good bands are separated from the ROCK STARS. I mean I have seen David Bowie play a great show in a medium sized venue and at the Orange Bowl. I think doing it at the Orange Bowl is harder.
