The Kooks biography

THE KOOKS DISCOGRAPHY

Named after a Bowie song, and hailing from the English Riviera, Brighton boys the Kooks arguably had the right kind of credentials to be a hit with the cool kids. However, they have been keen to downplay their 'Brit School' heritage, and indeed the fact that their leader, Luke Pritchard, once went out with Katie Melua - was this due to the heartache of their split, or just his embarrassment at the fact she went on to record 'Nine Million Bicycles'? Either way, with the April 2008 release of second album 'Konk', all at once they find themselves having to capitalise on their early status as 'Next Big Thing in British Pop', make the 'difficult' second album, and prove that they deserve to be taken seriously.
