Current Artist Series - Week 2

[rickenbrother]

The brothers: Anthony Caleb Followill (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Ivan Nathan Followill (drums, backing vocals) and Michael Jared Followill (bass guitar, backing vocals), with their cousin Cameron Matthew Followill (lead guitar, backing vocals) have a band from Nashville, Tennessee that I really dig. They actually go by their middle names. Leon is the father's name of the three brothers. Leon is also their grandfather's name. That's how they came up with the name of the band,
The Kings Of Leon.



This one gets played at So Cal mini-con jams:

Great stuff, I've been getting into these guys lately!

Silk & Steel, one of the bands I play in, does Use Somebody and Sex On Fire.

This is a great band. Another forum member turned me on to these guys a while back.

[antipodean]

They're one of the few bands that live up to the hype that the press sprays out about every next big thing. Love that sound...

[blueflamerick]

I do like this band, great sound, but I need to take a break from their current stuff. It's all I hear on the radio anymore.

Congratulation to The Kings Of Leon for winning the Grammy Award for Best Record of The Year!

I don't watch award shows, but when I'd heard this news I was happy because it's very rare that any artists I listen ever win one of these!
