00:00Happy accidents, I think, dominate my creative life.

00:04They're quite valuable things.

00:06I think anything that's too over-rehearsed is kind of lifeless.

00:12British indie rockers The Kooks are currently on their American adventure,

00:15performing songs off their latest album,

00:17The Let's Go Sunshine,

00:18along with classics for fans all over the country.

00:21During their L.A. date,

00:22Luke Pritchard and Hugh Harris stopped by

00:24to discuss the evolution of their sound,

00:26coming up in the live music scene, and more.

00:28Check it out.

00:29Guitar sounds can change, yeah, between tours drastically.

00:32Our whole parameter of sound, our whole spectrum of sound,

00:36it is different on each tour.

00:38It's always better, it's always improving.

00:39I think that's how we really value ourselves as a live band,

00:42is that we're constantly evolving,

00:44and we really do give to hoots about that kind of thing.

00:47We came from playing pubs, playing clubs,

00:50playing, like, you know, bandstands on the Common,

00:53and that's kind of the way we brought ourselves up in music,

00:56so definitely we think about it.

00:57I'm always like, you've got to put in some songs with up-tempo beats,

01:01and you need the odd, like, something catchy.

01:03It's always good for the crowd.

01:05Catch the Kooks on their U.S. Trek through March 2nd,

01:07but also be hitting up Europe in the spring.
