Kings of Leon

Kings of Leon is an American rock band that originated in Albion, Oklahoma but formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 1999. The band is composed of brothers Anthony Caleb Followill (b. January 14, 1982,[citation needed] lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Ivan Nathan Followill (b. June 26, 1979,[citation needed] drums, percussion, backing vocals) and Michael Jared Followill (b. November 20, 1986,[citation needed] bass guitar, backing vocals), with their cousin Cameron Matthew Followill (b. September 10, 1984,[citation needed] lead guitar, backing vocals). The group is named for their grandfather Leon from Talihina, Oklahoma.. In early April 2011, an 87 minute film directed by Stephen C. Mitchell documenting the band's lives was shown at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival in New York, called Talihina Sky, the name of an early Kings of Leon track. The Tribeca premiere was followed by scheduling a "hometown" premiere at the deadCENTER Film Festival in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on June 8, 2011.. The European premiere was hosted at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on June 25 and was followed by a interview session with the band. UK distributor Revolver Entertainment streamed the movie and interview session to 150 UK cinemas for a "One Night Only" live screening event. RCA Records has since announced that the film will be released on Blu-ray Disc and DVD on November 1, 2011....
