who are :

• the son's of a former alcoholic pentecostal evangelist
• the opening band for U2 during their upcoming fall tour
• one of the best hard rockin bands to come around in some time (#1 on the U.K. rock charts )

the answer . . . Kings Of Leon.

I was fortunate to be able to experience these vigorous young lads from Tennessee last night at the Beaumont Club. Though the lead singers voice gave out after 4 songs and had to end the show just an hour into it, they more than made up for a lack of quantity with their skull splitting, chest cavity breaking rock-n-roll. These guys are good, real good. I can’t imagine a night of them and U2; the sweet chariot can take me home after that.
