Hot off the heels of their sold-out European tour and performance on the MTV "Movie Awards," Grammy award-winning group Kings Of Leon return home to Nashville for their first headlining performance at the Sommet Center!

Indeed, it's not business as usual on the Nashville-based quartet's ambitious, eclectic new album Because Of The Times. Where Kings of Leon's last release, 2005's Aha Shake Heartbreak, was "a fuzz-encrusted rocket of controlled violence," as Rolling Stone put it, packed with emphatic two-minute bursts of raunchy guitars, brawny drums, and growled vocals, Because Of The Times finds the Followills (brothers Nathan, Caleb, and Jared, and their first cousin Matthew) opening up, relaxing the rules, and reveling in the joys of their newfound musical freedom.

      Kings of Leon came out ready to rock and they never disappointed. They brought with them an energy and a sense of pride for all they have accomplished. You could hear the awe in Caleb's voice as he marveled at playing in front a sold out crowd at the Sommet Center in the hometown that not so long ago turned its back on the alt rock sensation. They played an incredible set full of old favorites and new hits, giving everyone a chance to hear one of their own personal favorites. KOL is not a flashy band. You are not going to get a lot of on stage theatrics from these boys. Who needs it?! What you are going to get is 2 hours of awesome music, high energy, and true musical talent. KOL doesn't need splashy stage set-ups to get the crowd going - their talent alone takes care of that. As a long time KOL fan I am still on a high from the show and can't wait to see them again... and again... and again.... oh, and then one more time. Collapse
