Amazingly, this is happening exactly one year after the album Only By The Night was released. At this point, with all the radio "Use Somebody" is getting in all the formats, the song is reaching a cumulative audience of 100 million on the Hot 100. The album has sold 1.3 million copies in America to date.</p> <p>Kings of Leon are in the middle of a triumphant North American arena tour that will come to an end in the states on October 16 in Nashville, TN. This weekend they will be headlining the prestigious Austin City Limits Music Festival.</p> <p>Only By The Night was released on September 23, 2008 and debuted in the top five on the Billboard top 200 and #1 at iTunes. The band were nominated for three Grammys and won their first for "Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals" for "Sex On Fire," which was #1 on Billboard magazine's Modern Rock chart for nine weeks in a row. "Use Somebody," which has now sold over one million tracks, was #1 at Modern Rock for three weeks straight and is currently one of the biggest rock crossovers of the year at pop radio with its position solid at #1. Appearances on the covers of Rolling Stone and SPIN, and performances on Saturday Night Live, The Today Show's summer concert series on Rockefeller Plaza, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien have all helped give the band the biggest selling record of their career as well as put them in front of more fans than ever before.</p> Remaining dates of the fall tour are below: <br /> <b>SEPTEMBER 2009</b> <br /> 30 - St. Louis, MO - Scottrade Center <br /><br /> <b>OCTOBER 2009</b> <br /> 02 - Austin, TX - Austin City Limits Festival <br /> 03 - Oklahoma City, OK - Ford Center <br /> 06 - Houston, TX - Toyota Center <br /> 07 - Dallas, TX - American Airlines Center <br /> 09 - Atlanta, GA - Philips Arena <br /> 10 - Lexington, KY - Rupp Arena <br /> 13 - Kansas City, MO - Sprint Center <br /> 16 - Nashville, TN - Sommet Center <br /> 20 - Guadalajara, MEX - Telmex Arena <br /> 22 - Mexico City, MEX - Sports Arena <br /> 24 - Monterrey, MEX - Arena Monterrey <br /> 9/21/2009 - Kings of Leon Lead 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards Nominations Kings of Leon lead the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards nominations with five nods, including Best Song for "Use Somebody," Best Live Act, Best Group, Best Rock and Best World Stage Performance.

Details of the first release on the imprint, The Features “Some Kind of Salvation,” will be announced next week. <br><br>The inventive new label venture is the culmination of a creative new deal Bug Music and Kings Of Leon entered into the fall of 2008. The terms of that agreement allow the Kings Of Leon to sign and develop artists with Bug Music, in the spirit of discovering dynamic artists that are committed as a band and writing extraordinary music. The first artist signed is fellow Tennessee brethren The Features, a band with a decade of songs and touring. Longtime supporter of The Features, Kings Of Leon previously toured the UK and US with the band in 2007. <br><br>“Caleb, Jared, Matthew and Nathan are extraordinary tastemakers and constantly absorbing new sounds from all over the world,” said Rudolph. “The honesty in their music is what draws them to genuine artists. We are excited about developing new artists together as Bug Music continues to innovate and challenge the industry’s traditional thinking of a publisher.” <br><br>Critically lauded throughout the U.K., The Features recently performed at the Bonnaroo Music Festival and are slated to hit the road throughout the U.S. this summer and fall in support of the album release. “Some Kind of Salvation” was produced by Grammy-Award winning Jacquire King (Modest Mouse, Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits, Sea Wolf) and Brian Carter at his Paradox Production facility in Murfreesboro, TN. The band features Matthew Pelham (guitar,lead vocals), Roger Dabbs (bass guitar), Mark Bond (keyboards) and Rollum Haas (drums). 6/15/2009 - Kings of Leon Nominated for Two Teen Choice Awards Congratulations to KOL for being nominated as the Choice Music: Rock Group and for the Choice Music: Album (Group) for <i>Only By The Night</i>. <a href="http://www.teenchoiceawards.com/webdev/users-login.php">Click here to vote</a> and be sure to tune in to the 2009 Teen Choice Awards on FOX, Monday, August 10th at 8pm to see the results. <br> <br> <br>* Please note: Voters must register at www.teenchoiceawards.com and be between the ages of 13 and 19 years old.</p> 6/2/2009 - "Notion" Video Premiere Visit <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kingsofleon">MySpace.com/kingsofleon</a> to watch the exclusive online premiere of KoL's new video, "Notion."<br /> <br /><center><a href="http://www.myspace.com/kingsofleon"><img src="http://www.rcarecords.com/kingsofleon/kol_ss_notion.jpg"></a></center> 6/1/2009 - MORE US Fall Tour Kings Of Leon continue to announce dates on their Fall Tour <br><br>9/9 Uncasville, CT -Mohegan Sun Arena <br>9/11 Mansfield, MA -Comcast Center <br>9/22 Auburn Hills, MI -The Palace of Auburn Hills <br>9/23 Columbus, OH -Schottenstein Center <br>9/25 Noblesville, IN -Verizon Wireless Music Center <br>9/26 Milwaukee, WI -Bradley Center <br>9/28 Minneapolis, MN -Target Center <br>9/30 St. Louis, MO -Scottrade Center <br>10/3 Oklahoma City, OK -Ford Center <br>10/6 Houston, TX -Toyota Center <br>10/7 Dallas, TX -American Airlines Center <br>10/9 Atlanta, GA -Philips Arena <br>10/10 Lexington, KY -Rupp Arena <br>10/13 Kansas City, MO -Sprint Center <br>10/16 Nashville, TN -Sommet Center <br><br>9/9 - 9/26 Support is Glasvegas <br>9/28 - 10/16 Support is White Lies 5/28/2009 - NBC's 'Today Show' Performance- July 31st Kings of Leon are scheduled to perform live on NBC’s “Today Show” summer concert series on July 31.

In his review of the performance, Jon Pareles of the New York Times wrote, “The music swelled to fill the arena, from the ominous stomp that opened the set, ‘Crawl’ to the lean defiance of ‘Knocked Up’ and, suitable for the occasion, the triumphal ‘Manhattan,’ which promises to ‘show this town how to kiss these stars.’” Kings Of Leon kick off the upcoming dates on the 19th of April at the Agganis Arena in Boston, MA and finish off at the Bill Graham Civic Center on May 21st in San Francisco, CA. <br><br>Nominated for three Grammy Awards (Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals), Kings Of Leon have seen their latest release Only By The Night (RCA) take them to new levels of success in the United States. Their lead single “Sex On Fire” has been #1 on the Billboard “Modern Rock” chart for nine weeks and counting. The second single, “Use Somebody,” has just been released to radio and is following nicely in the footsteps of “Sex On Fire.” The video has been named “Buzzworthy” by MTV and has had nearly six million views on YouTube to date. <br><br>Only By The Night was released on September 23, 2008 and debuted in the top five on the Billboard top 200 and #1 at the iTunes store. The band has since performed on Saturday Night Live and Late Night with David Letterman. The band appeared on the cover of Spin magazine's October issue, and was on the cover of Q magazine's December issue in the UK, in which they received "Record of the Year" honors. 2/5/2009 - Kings of Leon appearing in Rolling Stone!
