Free Unplugged Kooks

(PR) The Kooks will turn off the amps for a night on their sold out US tour to perform an acoustic set at Portland, Oregon's intimate Backspace on May 27, 2008. Both the small venue (Backspace has a 250 capacity) and playing acoustic are rare for the Kooks and the show guarantees to be a special one for those in attendance. The Secret Show is a free, exclusive performance for the MySpace community.
The Kooks have enjoyed a lot of success since they released their sophomore album , Konk, earlier this year. The album, named for Ray Davies' studio in which it was recorded in by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, The Thrills) rocketed to #1 on the British charts upon release. The album was released in the States on April 15 via Astralwerks. Its first single, "Always Where I Need To Be." is currently getting heavy play on modern rock radio, including the 94.7 Alternative Portland station in town.
MySpace Music has organized more than 100 Secret Shows since the franchise launched in February 2006 with artists like Rilo Kiley, Moby, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Neil Diamond performing in cities around the world. The 150th Secret Show will take place in New York on June with Gnarls Barkley headlining and The Battles supporting.
