I couldn't really get into UK flavor of the month the Kooks. They're being heavily hyped by the UK media & the crowd tried hard to get into it but I found the whole thing laughably boring & bland. To be fair none of the songs were particularly terrible but none were really outstanding either - it was basically one ok song over and over again for 45 minutes with some clichéd Brit-Rock by the numbers stage moves thrown in. If you put these guys on a bill with any of the other thousand UK bands that have been hyped over the past few years (i.e. Libertines, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys, etc.) I doubt if anyone would be talking about the Kooks after the show.
