Kings of Leon :: Talihina Sky; Their Documentary

After last week there have been many mixed reviews about the performance of the Kings of Leon in Cape Town and Jozi. I attended the concert, but found their performance lack-lustered. You can see and feel that they don’t like their own music – it’s not a secret, they openly confess to this – but it was pretty cool to see them in SA.

What fascinates me about them is their past. They come from the deep South. America’s bible-bashing, cousin-kissing impoverished desert of life. Their attitude mimics Kurt Cobain in a sense that they make incredible music, so gifted are they that it is almost supernatural, but they also seem to have a morbid attitude that makes their presence dark.

Talihina Sky is their story.
