The two were very kind and encouraging offering me much useful information about the local scene and the bands helping me look smarter the following day during my job interview. Additionally I had many good and unique live music experiences at the Spider including watching the members of Guided by Voices interrupt I Am a Scientist to jump into the audience and beat up the wrong heckler near the end of.

A lot" Jess says. "We’re seen as slightly difficult but that’s K. "We had a lot of control over making the music on this record and we wrote Hook Me Up so we would have the best idea of what the video would be. So it was ‘Use our ideas. "Because the song is so different from the first record we wanted to make a video that was young and fun that kids could relate to. The video idea that was first proposed really was not for a young market… It was a lot older. " The electropop sound of the single will certainly win them plenty of older fans this time around thanks to its homage to 1980s synthpop. Hook Me Up was co-written with Greg Wells a Canadian hitmaker whose dizzyingly eclectic resume includes Mika’s debut album Life in Cartoon Motion death metal femme tep and pop-turned-country artist Michelle Branch. "He produced Mother Mother on our first record and he’s done some really interesting stuff. You can’t box him" Jess says.

“h my god we were scared to death!” said drummer Nathan Followill who is Kings of Leon's oldest member at 28. “We had never played in a place that big and we were flying by the seat of our pants. That was the first time I played in a place so big that the snare drum (echo) slapped me in the face a second after I hit it. “We didn't know what to expect and I'm sure our whole sound crew was in the same position. I think we were more excited about seeing U2's show than playing our own… “klahoma University is playing a volleyball game down there that weekend so we're going to bring the team to the show and let them get a little crazy. ”Regardless of the size of a venue Followill and his bandmates are now able to deliver their increasingly ambitious music on stage with fire finesse and a growing command of dynamics.
