Seattle Theatre Group (STG) presents Kings of Leon with special guests We Are
Scientists & The Stills at The Paramount Theatre. Kings of Leon have confirmed
their first North American tour in support of the band's new record, Only By The
Night. The album will be released on September 23rd, and the tour kicks off on
street date with an exclusive club show at New York's Webster Hall. It will
continue through October and November, ending November 19th at the Nashville
Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, TN. A full itinerary is below.
Only By The Night's first single, the explosive and memorable "Sex On Fire,"
will be available on Itunes and impacts at radio next week. The song received
its first public airing yesterday, Tuesday, August 5th, on MySpace Music, the
band's MySpace page. The video is being shot in Los Angeles this week and is
being directed by the renowned Sophie Muller.
Starting September 1st, the band is going to begin hosting a series of home
movies that document the making of Only By The Night. Every day leading up to
the release date, a new home movie will be featured on kingsofleon.com and the
band's MySpace page. This Saturday, August 9, they will play the All Points West
Festival in Liberty State Park, in Jersey City, NJ.
Only By The Night was recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN, and was
produced by Angelo Petraglia and Jacquire King. It is a bold and expansive sonic
statement that looks set to solidify Kings of Leon's position as one of the most
important international acts of 2008 and beyond. It follows rapidly in the
footsteps of the band's previous albums, Youth And Young Manhood, Aha Shake
Heartbreak and Because Of The Times, all of which have quickly established them
as one of the most prolific and acclaimed acts around.
