The Kooks to play Dublin Castle:

The Kooks, who have recently parted company with their bassist (Egoeccentric has the story here), have been announced to play Dublin Castle as part of the Heineken Green Energy festival on May 5th.



The Kooks were a band that i tried to hate, their first impressions alone were nearly enough for me to write them off as part of the NME 'revolution' that, after last nights gig it is safe to say, i can't stand. Six months of continued airplay transpired and only in November after they had dominated the European Festivals circuit did i crack.

Inside in/Inside Out is a great album and is along with 'The Strokes' 'Is This It?' an album that never fails to get me in a good mood!

The Kooks new album is released April 14th.

Here's an amazing clip of Ooh La from the streets of France:
