Kings of Leon Tour/Album Details

Kings of Leon

Only By The Night's first single, the explosive and memorable "Sex On Fire," will be available on Itunes and hits radio next week. The song received its first public airing yesterday, Tuesday, August 5, on MySpace Music, the band's MySpace page (go listen now fool!) and kingsofleon.com. The video is being shot in Los Angeles this week and is being directed by the renowned Sophie Muller.

Starting September 1, the band is going to begin hosting a series of home movies that document the making of Only By The Night. Every day leading up to the release date, a new home movie will be featured on kingsofleon.com and the band's MySpace page. This Saturday, August 9, they will play the All Points West Festival in Liberty State Park, in Jersey City, NJ.

Only By The Night was recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN, and was produced by Angelo Petraglia and Jacquire King. It is a bold and expansive sonic statement that looks set to solidify Kings of Leon's position as one of the most important international acts of 2008 and beyond. It follows rapidly in the footsteps of the band's previous albums, Youth And Young Manhood, Aha Shake Heartbreak and Because Of The Times, all of which have quickly established them as one of the most prolific and acclaimed acts around.
