Kings Of Leon are set to release a documentary called Talihina Sky: The Story Of Kings Of Leon, which will debut this month at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. I love the title of the film, it refers to a chorus line, "Life goes by, On a Talahina Sky" in a hidden track after Holy Roller Novocaine in KOL's debut album. The film follows the band's history from their interesting upbringing, which I think that song heavily reflects. They began their lives as sons of a preacher to become one of the world's biggest rock bands of today. Although they may not be the most likeable nice-guy musicians around and have evolved and changed through their career, they have a unique outlook on their lives and from what you see in the trailer, reveal more about themselves to their fans than they ever have...I would also say I mostly have Kings of Leon to thank for saving me from having a pitiful music taste. Youth and Young Manhood was in my CD collection when all else I had was Robbie Williams' Escapology, the Barbie Party mix and Michael Jackson's Greatest Hits. No shit. THANKYOU KOL. Back to the movie, New York Times, director Stephen C Mitchell described the film as a "fascinating insight for fans and non-fans about a group of musicians who will never forget their strict Pentecostal upbringing or rough-and-tumble back-country roots". Have a squizz at the trailer, and here's some KOL downloads while we're on the topic.
