The Kooks
All Music Guide
Luke Pritchard (vocals/guitar), Hugh Harris (guitar), Max Rafferty (bass), and Paul Garred (drums) generate the rubbishy garage rock sounds of the Kooks. Obviously named for the song on David Bowies Hunky Dory, the Kooks met while attending Brighton Music College in the mid-2000s. Each shared a liking for the Police, the Strokes, the Everly Brothers, and Funkadelic, thus forming the sweet and precocious sounds of the Kooks in 2005. Before the years end, the British foursome was releasing singles for Virgin UK. Eddies Gun and Sofa Song did moderately well on the U.K. singles chart; however, the romantic playfulness of You Dont Love Me eventually gave the band its first ever Top 20 hit. The Kooks debut full-length, Inside In/Inside Out, arrived in January 2006. The bands fifth single, Naive, landed at number five by spring. Hot on the heels of their international success, the Kooks made their American performance debut at the annual ~South by Southwest conference in Austin, TX, in March. The U.S. version of Inside In/Inside Out arrived on Astralwerks in October 2006.
