We posted the music video for “Come With Me Now” from KONGOS back in May and things have taken off for the group. Starting on July 31st, the band will embark on King of Leon‘s Mechanical Bull Tour. After that, the band will join OneRepublic in the fall on their European Tour.
Check out the dates below for the Mechanical Bull Tour (others can be found on their official website) and catch these guys while you can.
If you have not heard “Come With Me Now” by the super cool band, Kongos then you are missing out on some extremely awesome new music. Sometimes you just know when a band has the potential to be the next hit band and sirens went off for me with these guys. They are four brothers who are from South Africa, but also grew up in London and now live in Arizona. They bring an eclectic sound to alternative music that has been missing (who doesn’t love an accordion?!).
They released their debut album, Lunatic in 2012 in other parts of the world, but it wasn’t until this year when they began receiving major recognition and re-released Lunatic through Epic Records. The album is available through iTunes and they, along with Young the Giant, will be joining Kings of Leon on their upcoming tour.
Pop sensation and multi-platinum recording artist Katy Perry is set to host TEEN CHOICE 2010 airing Monday, Aug. 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The Grammy-nominated artist will also perform during the 12th annual special that celebrates the year’s hottest teen icons in film, television, music, sports and fashion. “Iron Man 2” and “Gossip Girl” lead the TEEN CHOICE 2010 nominees with six nominations each, while GLEE and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” each garnered five nominations.
