The Kooks

Um, and you know, it's, it's, it's...

I think it's had, like, the, the first sellout shows of, like, The Kooks, and we had Frank Turner kind of relaunch it for us in June.

Um, and he was talking about how it was where his first band, Million Dead, did their first ever gig.

It's where he did his first ever sold-out show.

No, I'm...

I've got The Kooks.

With? Naïve.

Naïve.

What have you gone, Polly?

It's all your fault.

The Kooks, Naïve.

Kooks, Naïve, I put.

And for me, in the early years when I was like a teenager, I was listening to Keen, I was listening to...

I was listening to The Kooks, I was listening to The Editors, Muse, Radiohead, and Thom Yorke, all his solo stuff as well, I love so much, and Dido, the list goes on.

It was nice to...

White Flag, yeah.

But there are a lot of things to like with Hushboy at 27.

Meanwhile, she moves in her own way by The Kooks.

I kind of wouldn't mind if she stopped moving in her own way.

I liked that song at the time and bought the album, but it is starting to grate on me in its 11th week on this chart.

Interesting, they're sort of a bit of a breather of the indie bands now.

There's sort of less of them.

There's still the Kooks and Kasabian here, but certainly less than we've had for a while as the big pop artists like Robbie Williams and the Scissor Sisters are making their names known, getting ready for that all-important Christmas album season.

At 17,

Whistle for the Choir.

As we move on to The Kooks, Oolah.

Released in 2006 and got to number 20.

So the Kooks, they were in the charts between 2005 and 2014, although album wise, they have had an album out in 2025.

They had 10 top 40 singles, of which three got to the top 10. albums, eight in the top 40, of which five got to the top 10, of which one got to number one.

They were nominated twice in the 2007 Brit Awards.

It was the Fratellis.

And they didn't win for the Best British Single either.

25.

She moves it in her own way by the kooks.

A

new entry for The Feeling with Never Be Lonely.

That's the best bit, isn't it? Yes.

Ah, yes, the Fratellis, not the Kooks.

We used to play the Fratellis and the Kooks and I would get them mixed up all the time.

They are a different band, but they had the same producer, Tony Hoffa, who also did production work for Beck and Bell and Sebastian and Phoenix and Turing Breaks and The Thrills and Goldfrapp, et cetera, et cetera.

It's not a million miles away from the Arctic Monkeys, is it?
