Kings of Leon Return to Their Roots for an Intimate Show at (Le) Poisson Rouge
The band began the special invite-only performance with the single “Waste A Moment.”
Kings of Leon have been selling out arenas and playing to massive crowds for a decade. While in New York City on Wednesday, the band could’ve easily sold out Madison Square Garden (multiple nights at that), but they instead returned to their roots for an intimate performance at (Le) Poisson Rouge in downtown Manhattan for SiriusXM.
“When we walked in [to the venue], we were like, ‘Wow, we haven’t smelled this in a long time,'” lead singer Caleb Followill told Alt Nation host Jenny Eliscu before the show. “It definitely feels like we should play some stuff we used to play in these sized venues.”
The band began the special invite-only performance with the single “Waste A Moment” off their highly anticipated upcoming album “WALLS,” due out October 14.
They went on to play songs spanning their 16-year career, including 2004’s “Aha Shake Heartbreak,” 2010’s “Come Around Sundown,” 2003’s “Youth & Young Manhood,” 2007’s “Because of The Times,” and 2013’s “Mechanical Bull,” as well as new “WALLS” material including “Reverend,” “Around the World,” and “Over,” before closing out the night with their GRAMMY-winning “Sex on Fire.”
