Description:
The Kings of Leon came from America's Deep South in 2003 and made an immediate impact on the British music scene that was immediate. They embarked on a sex, drug and booze-fuelled rampage through the London music and fashion scene. Seven years after their unprecedented arrival in the UK, they are finally making a name for themselves overseas, thanks to a series of hit albums and singles and a headline slot at Glastonbury in 2008 and at Reading in '09. No longer indulging in the drugs which were threatening to come between them, the band are older, wiser and in a better position to reflect in their rise to glory. Their's is a unique tale, from their youth as touring musicians in their preacher father's church to their discovery by the American music industry and beyond.
