As of now it appears that The Kooks are still coming to America. The up and coming British group just released their debut album in North America via Astralwerks, Inside In/Inside Out. Frontman Luke Pritchard was recently diagnosed with laryngitis, which forced the band to cancel several dates on their tour overseas. We can only hope that Pritchard takes his vitamins, gets some rest and feels better in time for their brief North American tour, beginning October 23 at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom. Somebody get that man some chicken soup!
