Hey everyone, I’m back from my mini-break (I’ll post photos later), but I just happen to catch Conan last night and saw that The Kooks will be playing the show tonight! Hooray!

From the press release:

The Kooks will premiere a new track, “Always Where I Need To Be” from their forthcoming album, “KONK” on Late Night With Conan OBrien tonight, February 14th, at 12:35am EST (11:35pm CST) on NBC.

Having sold over 100,000 copies of their debut ‘Inside In/Inside Out’ in the US, as well as selling out every US tour to date, The Kooks just played a few intimate gigs for fans in Los Angeles and Brooklyn in anticipation of their next album. Their sophomore effort, ‘KONK’, will be released state-side on April 15th, 2008 via Astralwerks. Stay tuned for the announcement of their biggest US tour to date.

I was kinda bummed that I missed them in NYC two nights ago (I had just gotten into the city at 6:30 and then I went to dinner at Babbo for my birthday–RETARDED DELICIOUS, BTW–plus the snow, plus I was in no way going to make it to Brooklyn.), but now I’ll get to see them in some capacity.
