In April THE KOOKS played a one off intimate gig at Zanzibar in Liverpool, kicking off a 6 month stint of live dates throughout Europe and South America...

Over 30 shows, 14 countries, one terrifying plane ride, numerous guitar strings and several hundred thousands of amazing Kooks fans later, the band landed back in the UK the weekend before last, rounding things up with a secret set at Bestival. Photos from this set and all the Summer dates can be viewed on THE KOOKS Facebook page, as well as all the behind the scenes footage of the band, shot on the road (Videos section left of the Wall.)

And as for the here and now - we are pleased to inform you that the band are currently situated in the rehearsal studio with sights firmly set on completing The Kooks 3rd album and recording due to begin soon.

The Kooks will be back next year with new material and all that comes with it. In the meantime, stay tuned to Twitter.com/THEKOOKSMUSIC for updates from the studio.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT TO A SHOW OVER THE PAST 6MONTHS!
