The Kooks' New Album "Konk", New Video Debut , Tour Dates and Media

March 27, 2008

Brighton, England's garage rock indie band The Kooks are set to release their new album, Konk, on April 15 on Astralweeks in the U.S. and April 14 on Virgin Records in the UK.

The new Kooks album, named after The Kinks singer/songwriter Ray Davies' Konk Studios where it was recorded in late 2007, is the band's second album since their 2006 acclaimed debut Inside In/Inside Out.

That album went triple platinum in the UK, spawning a number of chart singles, and later helped the band get invited to South by Southwest, which is a huge deal for any musician or band.

Konk was produced by Tony Hoffer who has worked with Beck and Air.

With dozens of Kooks' 2008 concert shows already booked for North America, UK, Japan and Europe, it's likely The Kooks will be on the loose soon in a city near you.

The Kooks are Luke Pritchard (vocals/guitar), Max Rafferty (bass), Hugh Harris (guitar) and Paul Garred (drums).

The following is The Kooks new video from Konk, "Always Where I Need To Be".
