BROOKLYN The Kooks

When The Kooks -- Luke Pritchard (vocals & acoustic guitar), Hugh Harris (guitar), Max Rafferty (bass) and Paul Garred (drums) -- took the stage at Brooklyn’s NorthSix, British swagger was evident to their audience -- moppy heads of hair and Oasis-like looks. They’re the cool kids from Brighton, England that happen to have the current number-one spot on British charts. Song favorites such as “She Moves In Her Own Way” with its charismatic acoustical twang, and the poppy candor of “Naïve”, were welcomed by screaming New York fans. Sold-out shows and $100 Craigslist ticket asking prices are just the beginning of what lies ahead for this gang of four. Catch ‘em next time they come stateside, before they achieve blowup status.
