Exclusive: The Kooks to kook up the kooktinental states on spring tour
Though music’s “British Invasion” ostensibly happened in the ’60s, the states have seen a pretty steady rivulet of UK bands ever since. One of those is The Kooks, who broke into the collective consciousness with 2006’s Inside In/Inside Out and its single, “She Moves In Her Own Way.” The group’s latest record, Listen, hit stores last fall, and, as generally happens, the group is going on tour this spring to support its own hard work. The A.V. Club has the exclusive rundown of those dates below, and interested parties can check out the clip for “Bad Habit” below as well.
