Great venue, great band!!
Great theater, bass was a bit much, but the group had alot of talent!
I loved it! Their energy is so great, very very fun. The Kooks are incredible live. And the Palladium is looking beautiful!
Awesome show...great venue!
I was really just going for the Whigs (who were great) but the Kooks were pretty mediocre. The lights were set up too low and were at an odd angle so that they were blinding the crowd and back lighting the band. Sound levels were a little off. And $14 is a lot for a beer.
This show was great, the Kooks even played 5 encore songs. I hope they tour in the US again soon. :)
These guys were great! So much fun and so much energy
These guys are great! So much energy and so much fun.
The show was great!! It was everything we expected and more!!! The venue was nice but the drinks were very pricey, but other than that we had a great time!
The sound at the Palladium still can use some work though.
great band, great venue!
Thanks for the cheap tickets!
The sound was bad, had to leave after two song,
wrong venue.
Great show, the Kooks are AWESOME live. Only drawback is that I am partially deaf in my right ear...next time, must wear ear plugs!
