It was only in September of 2008 that Kings of Leon was playing at Webster Hall. I thought about going, but for some reason.. I didn’t. And just 4 months later they are selling out Madison Square Garden in New York City!
How did this happen? I’ve been digging them for close to a year now yes, but was sure I would have a little more time to see them at a small venue. This band sorta came from nowhere and sky rocketed to fame. Could it be due to the fact that some celebs including Drew Barrymore were seen watching them play? Or maybe the TV show Gossip Girl is to blame/thank for this? Their music was featured in an episode.. next thing you know.. boom Madison Square Garden! Wow the influence of young Hollywood & a shallow teen drama..  Powerful man powerful!

Anyway my sweetie pie of a friend Daniela loves watching new bands just as much as I do! So I thank her for treating me to an awesome night out of sexy sexy music. Look how stoked I am! And look how pretty we look in blue.. thanks again Dani! 🙂

Most people I mention this band to say: “Kings of who?”  Well if you are one of those people.. then watch and listen..

Look at them rocking in all their hipstery cuteness.. ahh boys in skinny jeans.. not everyone can pull that off ya know!

We were on the side of the stage.. which in the scheme of things is great and turned out to be the perfect view.. This is a huge venue.. but in reality not super close compared to what I am used to.. but I know that if I had been on the floor in the front row I would have been pissed. For some reason they set up in the middle of that big a$$ stage! at least 20 feet back.. This I don’t understand. And found to be an odd setup..  All that aside. we were having so much fun! Loving the music and the energy of the crowd! This song is called “Use Somebody” as you can see it’s also sexy sexy… Sing along! You know you want to!!! I hope it’s gonna make you notice.. make you notice.. someone like me!! oh sorry.. um I got a little carried away.. So I hope you learned a few things from me tonight.: #1 when you stumble upon a band like this.. hurry up and see them ASAP at a small venue before Gossip Girl and Drew Barrymore get a hold of them.. #2 Kings of Leon = Hot hot hot.. And last but not least #3 Toni looks really good in blue.. Lessons to live by really.. until next time xoxo Toni 😉
