Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Theo Wargo, WireImage We're not really sure of the drinking habits that Band of Horses may or may not have, personally -- for all we know, they might not even touch the stuff.

Mrs. Nathan Followill, the drummer in that Kings of Leon band, gives it to us nice and breezy on "Hurry Hurry". The lead single on the Nashville-based singer-songwriter's Jesse Harris-produced (Cold War Kids, Edward Sharpe) as of yet untitled third LP, "Hurry Hurry" has the sort of roots, even Jazz influence that's sorely been absent in the Nashville mainstream for many many years. "Hurry Hurry" is feel good music. It's soulful music. It's great music. Jessie Baylin - Hurry, Hurry Jessie Baylin: ( [...]
For certain Coachella fans who were guessing and/or hoping drummer Nathan Followill's surgery would lead to a cancellation and replacement headliner, this news is a bit of a bore. According to a press release, the surgery on Followill's torn right labrum and bicep will not affect Kings of Leon's gig headlining Friday night at Coachella. Speculation arose after Kings of Leon postponed their Australia and South Africa dates until this fall, without mention of Coachella or the summer European tour.

T his week's verbal tussle between Ryan Murphy and Kings of Leon should qualify as 2011's biggest embarrassment so far for both sides. Round two unofficially began a day or two ago when Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill responded (via Twitter, naturally) to Glee creator Ryan Murphy's public dressing down of the band, who refused to let Murphy feature it's hit "Use Somebody" in an episode of the show. "Dear Ryan Murphy, let it go. See a therpaist, get a manicure, buy a new bra. Zip your lip and focus on educating 7yr [...]
It seems that after Kings of Leon refused to be covered on Glee, the show's producer, Ryan Murphy started a bit of a feud with the band by calling them ignorant to arts education. Of course Kings of Leon drummer, Nathan Followill, wasn't going to stand for it so he tweeted the following about Ryan Murphy's comment: "Dear Ryan Murphy, let it go.

This is all part of a six month feud between them - and it's all because KOL denied Ryan the use of their song on his show! Ryan approached KOL to use their song, "Use Somebody" for "Glee". The Followills weren't feeling that teenage pop television garbage and denied them the ability to use the song . [...]
The drummer from Kings of Leon apparently doesn't like the guys from Arcade Fire too much considering what he said about them in a recent interview. These were Nathan Followill's words about Arcade Fire: "Now it's cool to have 14 people in your band doing everything but contributing musically, running around with a helmet on your head, hitting it with a drumstick. You gotta look at what you're in this for: the love of music? The fame? You can have all that if you're smart and play your cards right and don't become a dick." Pretty harsh words there… one [...]

Mientras su banda, Kings Of Leon , es noticia hoy día por los méritos de su nueva producción en relación a sus ventas , Nathan Followill da la nota del lado del cotilleo.

Ahora es "cool" tener 14 personas en tu banda haciendo cualquier [...]
