The firts thing to learn about The Kooks (named, need we mention, after the track of the same name on "Hunky Dory") is that, as their name suggests, they to take a chance.But let's get nineteen year old singer Luke Pritchard to explain:"Bands tend to do one thing and then stick to it" he says, constructing a roll-up beneath a tangle of Syd Barrett-esque curls.'With The Kooks we plan to do the opposite. When there's so much music to explore, why limit yourself?'Brighton's The Kooks are that rarest of pop entities; a scuzzy, fresh-faced group to fully restore your faith in the holy grail of English singer-songwriting stretching from Supergrass via (early) Blur to the Kinks and beyond. Their songs are crammed full of incidents on buses, bedroom mishaps - moreof wich later - and stinging teenage putdowns wich will strike a chord with anyone who's ever found themselves fumbling for clues on the sofa, but they're also blessed with a cheerful irreverence most record companies would prefer was preserved in amber rather than rampaging across the nation's venues. It doesn't end there. Pin-sharp and scarily young ( guitarist Hugh usurps Jared followill as the youngest man in rock, just turned seventenn), they also prossess record collections which date back to the dawn of time.In the course of an hour The Kooks ( Luke: vocals, guitar; Hughh Harris; lead guitar, Max Rafferty, bas, Paul Garred; drums) will happily rave about everyone from The police to The Everley brothers to Funkadelic to the component parts of medieval folk. Probe further and it turns out the first song they played together was The Steokes 'Reptilia'
