The Kooks in Argentina: indie rock at its best

The Kooksone of the most legendary and influential bands of British indie pop-rock, returned to Argentina with a show full of energy (and nostalgia).

After 9pm the band led by Luke Pritchard took the Groove stage to deliver a set of more than an hour and a half.

The show, which was originally scheduled to be at the Obras Stadium, began with “Always Where I Need To Be”one of his hits from the album “Konk” from 2008. The rock guitar of Hugh Harris lit up the night that continued with a string of hits and songs much loved by fans: “Sofa Song”, “Eddie’s Gun”, “Ooh La”, “She Moves In Her Own Way” and “Bad Habit”.

The night continued with a more dance and pop moment with “Westside”, “Forgive and forget” and “Closer” from your disk “10 Tracks To Echo In The Dark” of 2022.

The Kooks, locals in Argentina once again

The British band’s last time was in 2022 as part of the tour “Inside In/Inside Out: 15th Anniversary Tour”; commemorating a new anniversary of their 2006 album, this time the band is preparing the launch of what will be their seventh album, so the night featured a preview: “Sunny Baby”.

Halfway through the show, Pritchard, who seemed very excited and interacted a lot with the audience, was left alone with his guitar to perform a heartfelt version of “Seaside”.

Speaking of heartfelt versions, a separate paragraph deserves the moment when the band remembered the deceased Liam Payne performing a song One Direction.

After the most intimate moment of the show, garage guitar rock returned with the help of “See The World”, “Do You Wanna” and “Matchbox”.

“Junk of the Heart (Happy)”another classic from the band from Brighton, was chosen to “say goodbye” the night before the encores.

The moment of pause served for the people to take center stage by dedicating the classic song of “Olé olé olé The Kooks.”

Finally the band came out and concluded the night with “Around Town” and the applauded and chanted “Naïve”.

In this way they put an end to a night that brought together the audience over 35 years old who lived through the heyday of “indie rock” in the 2000s and the younger ones who were perhaps seeing the band for the first time.

If something is certain The Kooks play at home every time they come to Argentina and last night it was demonstrated once again.
