Kings of Leon interact with fans during movie

Kings of Leon’s Jared Followill Tweeted to fans during the Showtime premiere of the band’s documentary, “Talihina Sky” on Sunday.

Through rough spots and happy, the bassist Tweeted, “It’s on! Showtime! Now!” via his @youngfollowill account, then followed with a string of “I never got that dollar back,” “I never got that pillow back,” “Matt never got that tone back,” jabs (all in good nature) as the movie progressed.

He ended with “Hope you guys and girls enjoyed watching that as much as we did filming it for the last 8 years.”



Two of the band members were born in Oklahoma, and the band has extensive Oklahoma ties.

The documentary is named for the small Oklahoma town where they spent so much time while growing up with a Pentecostal family. The film also features scenes with a partying frontman Caleb Followill, who is was at the center of vitriol from several bandmates in July after KoL canceled its U.S. tour.

Showtime will re-air the documentary through Sept. 5 on Showtime Showcase and its main station. Check local listings for times.

Barrelhouse Beat

Barrelhouse: A colloquialism describing the low saloons at the turn of the century (19th) that served whiskey straight out of the barrel. It's also a reference to the type of music played in those venues. Ex: Barrelhouse music.

Beat: The time or timing. Ex: The band played with a solid beat. Also used as a term describing a reporters specific area of expertise. Ex: The music beat.

About me: I'm Okie born and raised, and have lived all over the state: Oklahoma City, Enid, Moore, Norman, Edmond and Tulsa. I am a music geek, writer, graphic designer and amateur photographer and videographer who's followed the Tulsa and regional music scene since I moved to Green Country more than 10 years ago. I've been enmeshed in Tulsa's varied and vibrant musical night life, what some of us affectionately call a modernized throwback to the Barrelhouse scene, since that time. I fell in love with it. I fell hard.

RT @AboutAquarius: An #Aquarius can sometimes be consumed by their own thoughts, especially at night. They can't find the "off" switch.
