The Kooks

‘Konk' was the band's second studio album, produced by Tony Hoffer and released on 14 April 2008. The first single off the Konk was played on Zane Lowe's radio show. Konk, was ranked the Zane Lowe most anticipated album and also went straight to Number 1 in the UK Album chart. The album entered in at 2nd in the Irish Chart. ‘RAK' is the second part of a limited edition 2 disc version of ‘Konk' which contains 9 extra tracks including an alternate version of ‘See the Sun' and a home demo called ‘Brooklyn'.

In an interview with NME.com, Pritchard made it public that the band has ‘80 or 90' songs written and ready to record. He said he wants this album to be big. ‘I've got an ego - I want the album to do well. I want our singles to come on the radio and for people to literally have their heads blown off by them' - said Pritchard. Bassist Max Rafferty officially left the band on 31th January after long standing rumors and Dan Logan, bassist with ‘Cat the Dog', was brought in as a temporary replacement. The Kooks recently announced that the next single from the album will be ‘Shine On'.

The Kooks will be playing in front of 40,000 people at the Isle Of MTV 2008 at the Floriana granaries, Malta, on 25th June 2008. Pathe filmed the opening of the studios, when Sir Edward Elgar played the London Symphony Orchestra in recording sessions of his music. The neighboring house is also owned and operated by the studio; also home to the musicians. During the mid-1900s the studio was extensively used by leading British conductor Sir Malcolm Sargent. The Gramophone Company later amalgamated with Columbia Graphophone Company to form EMI.

EMI took over the studios earning it a new name EMI Studios. Not before 1970, EMI formally changed their name to Abbey Road Studios. Studio Two at Abbey Road became a focal point of rock music in 1958 when Cliff Richard and the Drifters, later Cliff Richard and The Shadows, recorded ‘Move It' there. Move it is arguably the first European rock and roll single.
