Kings of Leon
Where: 9:30 Club
Date: 2007-09-24 19:30:00
Type:
The Kings of Leon picks up where Molly Hatchet and Lynyrd Skynyrd left off and adds a dash of modern rock 'n' roll to keep things from sounding too dated. While the band, a trio of brothers plus a cousin, exhibits a love for loud and dirty rock 'n' roll that made Skynyrd's 'Sweet Home Alabama' a radio hit, there's more than long hair and confederate dreams in its music. With a keen ear for gooey pop melodies that hints at a closet love for '60s and '70s pop, the Kings may woo the fans of typical alt-rock balladry as well. The heart of the band, which borrows its "Leon" moniker from its father and grandfather's first names, still beats for the south. Sitting somewhere between the Black Crowes and the power-pop revisionism of Arlo, the Kings of Leon's Southern rock revival may help shepherd the sound into the new century.

Once a month, we invite everyone to bring their MP3 players to Cafe Saint-Ex and play 12-minute sets of whatever they want, whether that's the latest indie rock singles, hot underground hip-hop or favorite '80s tunes. Sometimes, it's all three. All you need to participate is an MP3 player and some music you want to share. iPod Jukebox begins at 9 p.m., though MP3Js are invited to arrive earlier to sign up for a 12-minute timeslot. Admission is free. Cafe Saint-Ex is located at 1847 14th St. NW. The closest Metro station is U Street/African-American Civil War Memorial/Cardozo on the Green and Yellow lines.
