I-Kooks iyiqembu le-British indie rock elasungulwa ngo-2004. Abaculi basakwazi “ukugcina ibha isethiwe.” Bavotelwe Iqembu Elingcono Kakhulu kuma-MTV Europe Music Awards.
Umlando wokudalwa nokwakhiwa kweqembu i-The Kooks
Imvelaphi yeThe Kooks yile:
- UPaul Garred;
- Luke Pritchard;
- UHugh Harris.
Laba bobathathu bebewuthanda kakhulu umculo kusukela ngeminyaka yabo yobusha. Lapho abafana benesifiso sokudala iphrojekthi yabo, bonke bafunda eLondon School of Performing Arts and Technology. Ngemva kwesitifiketi esiphumelelayo, abafana baba abafundi be-BIMM.
Ekuqaleni, abafana babematasa ngezifundo zabo. Ekuqaleni kwawo-2000, abafana bathenga ama-albhamu e-Rolling Stones, uBob Dylan, Amaphoyisa kanye noDavid Bowie futhi baqala ukubuka isitayela sabo.
Bahlabeke umxhwele ngomdlalo wamarokhethi anekhono. Ukuze "basebenze" ngokugcwele iqembu, abafana bamema umdlali we-bass uMax Rafferty ukuthi ajoyine iqembu. Ngemva kokujoyina iqembu le-bassist, abafana baqala ukubhala izingoma zokuqala nokuhlela amakhonsathi.
Iqembu elisha alizange linakwe isikhathi eside. Noma kunjalo, intsha yangaleso sikhathi yayinezithombe eziningi. AbakwaKook bahehe ukunaka ngokushesha nje ngemuva kokwethulwa kwe-EP yabo yokuqala. Iqoqo lifaka inguqulo yekhava yengoma ye-The Strokes Reptilia.
AbakwaKook babegqamile. Abaculi banikezwe ukubambisana yizitudiyo zokuqopha eziningana ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ngokushesha abafana bazikhethela inketho engcono kakhulu futhi basayina inkontileka nelebula. Ngemuva kwalokho, amalungu eqembu aqala ukuqopha i-albhamu yawo yokuqala.
Kuze kube ngu-2008, ukwakheka akuzange kushintshe. Kodwa ngokushesha izinguquko zokuqala zenzeka e-The Kooks. Izihlalo zikaRafferty noGarred zithathwe nguPete Denton no-Alexis Nunez. Abalandeli abazange bakhale isikhathi eside ngezithixo ezingasekho. Phela yilaba abasha abaletha umsindo wamathrekhi endaweni ekahle. Ngokufika kukaPete Denton no-Alexis Nunez, ukuduma obekulindelwe isikhathi eside kwehlela i-The Kooks.
Indlela yokudala ye-The Kooks
Maphakathi nawo-2000, iqembu lahamba lonke izwekazi namakhonsathi alo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abaculi bakwazi ukugcwalisa repertoire nge izingoma ezintsha.
Lapho abafana befika esitudiyo sokuqopha nezinto zabo, bamangala kakhulu umkhiqizi kanye nonjiniyela womsindo. Babenamathrekhi ababhali abayishumi nambili ebhange labo lengulube, kodwa wonke ayebhalwe ngezinhlobo ezahlukene zomculo.
Inqubo yokudala ime kancane ngenxa yengxubevange yamathrekhi. Kodwa ngokushesha i-The Kooks yavula i-discography yabo nge-albhamu yabo yokuqala. Sikhuluma nge-LP Ngaphakathi / Ngaphakathi Ngaphandle. Irekhodi beliphethwe amaculo angu-14.
I-albhamu yokuqala yamukelwa ngemfudumalo hhayi abalandeli kuphela, kodwa futhi nabagxeki bomculo. Lokhu kugqugquzele iqembu ukuthi liqale ukuqopha i-albhamu yalo yesibili yesitudiyo. Irekhodi elisha lalibizwa ngokuthi Konk. Ngenxa yalokho, i-albhamu ithathe indawo yama-41 eshadini le-Billboard elihlonishwayo. Ngokombono wezohwebo, iqoqo libe yimpumelelo kakhulu kunangaphambili.
Izingoma zikaMnu. Menzi, Njalo Lapho Ngidinga Ukuba Khona, Bheka Ilanga Futhi Ukhanye. Izingoma azizange nje “zibhalwe phezu” ezimbotsheni ngabalaleli abavamile. Zasakazwa kumabonakude, zisetshenziswa ezinhlelweni eziwuchungechunge nezikhangisayo.
Ngegagasi lokuthandwa, abaculi bakhiphe enye i-albhamu yesitudiyo. Leli rekhodi lalibizwa ngokuthi yi-Junk of the Heart. Ukuhlanganiswa kwaqoshwa esitudiyo sokuqopha esizimele esiseNorfolk.
Ukukhishwa kwe-albhamu entsha
Ngo-2014, leli qembu lethule elinye iculo lomculo. Sikhuluma ngengoma ethi Down. Ingoma "yabonisa" kubalandeli ukuthi ukwethulwa kwe-albhamu yesine kuzokwenzeka maduze. “Abalandeli” babenephutha ekubikezeleni kwabo. Ngokushesha i-discography yeqembu yaphinde yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu ethi Lalela. Ngemuva kokwethulwa kwerekhodi, abaculi bahambe nohambo olukhulu.
Ngemva kokuvakasha nokubamba iqhaza kumafestivali omculo amaningi, abaculi be-The Kooks bagcwalise kabusha isikhwama sabo somculo ngamaculo athi No Pressure kanye nethi All The Time.
Amadoda ayekhiqiza kakhulu. Kakade ngo-2018, bethule umdlalo omude wesihlanu kubalandeli. Sikhuluma ngecwecwe elithi Let's Go Sunshine. "Amahithi egolide" eqoqo bekungamaculo athi Fractured and Dazed, Chicken Bone, Tesco Disco kanye neBelieve.
I-2018 yayingewona unyaka wezindaba ezinhle kuphela, kodwa futhi nokulahlekelwa okuphawulekayo. Abalandeli bashaqekile ngezindaba zokuthi umdlali webhesi weThe Kooks uPeter Denton usenqume ukuwushiya lo msebenzi. Lo mculi akazange aphawule ngezizathu eziyiqiniso zokushiya kwakhe.
Iqembu njengamanje
Ngo-2019, ibhendi yayihlanganisa uLuka Pritchard, umculi wekhibhodi uHugh Harris kanye nesigubhu u-Alexis Nunez. Ukuqoshwa kweqembu namakhonsathi bekuhambisana nomculi weseshini uPeter Randall.
Ukuhlanganiswa, okukhishwe ngo-2018, kuseyi-albhamu entsha ku-discography yebhendi kuze kube manje. AbakwaKook basebenzise u-2019 ohambweni. Amakhonsathi abehlelelwe u-2020 bekufanele ahlehliselwe u-2021.
