Double tribute night with Kings Of Lyon, a tribute to Kings of Leon, and The UK Strokes, a tribute to The Strokes, at The Horn.
Kings Of Lyon and The UK Strokes share a bill at The Horn on Saturday 13 March, a double tribute night that puts two of the biggest guitar bands of the last twenty years on the same stage. It's a long way to go for a Saturday night, but if you're into the indie-rock that dominated the 2000s, it's exactly the kind of thing that works better as a double bill than a single act.
Kings Of Lyon take on Kings Of Leon, and they don't just stick to the radio hits. They describe themselves as a definitive tribute, covering the band's first two albums — the raw, grungey rock and roll they started with — right through to the soaring stadium sound they became known for. They've built a reputation for being faithful to the sound, so it's a set that runs the full length of the band's career rather than just a handful of the biggest tracks.
The other half of the night comes from The UK Strokes, who tackle The Strokes. They play a set of classics from the indie icons who defined a generation and changed the way guitar music sounded, rooted in the New York scene where punk met melody and panache. It's an adrenaline-fuelled run through the songs that made them, so between the two acts you've got the Southern US rock of Leon and the New York indie of The Strokes in one evening.
