 04/09/2008 Ah, The Osbournes. How I miss thee. That show had everything. Tears, tantrums, dog poo and Ozzy Osbourne. It set the tone for loads and loads of ‘let’s-follow-some- celebrities-while-they-take-a crap-and-eat-a-burger’ fly-on-the-wall shows to follow.
So it should come as little surprise that Kings of Leon are the latest to jump on the whole TV show band-wagon, albeit with a massive difference.
You see, the American Southern Rock band is going to be broadcasting from… wait for it… the Internet! I know, mental isn’t it?
And here’s the thing, we’re not talking about professional cameramen filming here, so it won’t be like: “Throw that bun at your brother, Nathan. Shit on your brother’s guitar, Caleb.” Oh no, you see Kings of Leon will be broadcasting their very own home movies. Cool, huh?
In case you weren't aware, three of the quartet are brothers and Matthew’s their cousin. So you can expect to see sing-songs with good ol’ mama and introductions to good ol’ grandmamma and grandpapa and all the family.
They’ll be showing recording footage and video shoots and snippets of life on the road. We could go on, but we’d rather you just went along and checked it out yourself by visiting their website.
Anyway, the 23 ‘webisodes’ will be shown over 23 days on the lead-up to the bands new album, Only By The Night, released on October 22nd. The footage from the 'webisodes' has even been used for the video of the Kings of Leon single Crawl, which fans will be able to receive via iTunes if they purchase the deluxe edition of the forthcoming album.
Here's the need to know: The album 'Only By The Night' is released on 22/09/08 on Columbia Records/RCA. The single 'Sex On Fire' is released on 15/9/08 (Download from 8/9/08). www.kingsofleon.com |
