Amanda's Band of the Week: The Kooks

I enjoy listening to The Kooks a great deal. Luke's raspy sweet voice goes well with Paul's mellow guitar riffs and Max's funky bass lines. Of course there wouldn't be a band without the backbone which is the very laid back drumming of Paul. These guys make some pretty good music together, and because of this I recommend you all check them out. This British band was formed when all the band members were students at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music in England. The first to meet were Luke Pritchard(vox & rhythm guitar) and Max Rafferty (bassist). After Hugh Harris (lead guitar) and Paul Garred (drummer) joined the band all they needed to do was decide on a name. After listening to David Bowie's song entitled, "Kooks" from his Hunky Dory album, they decided on that name.
