saw them on last night's Leno. The bass drum cover had "KOL 23". The O had the intertwined OU (with white tape). Anyone know if they are really OU fans if it has other significance?

Maybe it had something to do with Wayman? That would be really cool if it did.

They sounded really good, I really want to see that band in concert.

In fact, the more I think about it, I'm pretty sure it was for Wayman. Which would mean at least the drummer is probably a fan. (he was born in OKC)

It definitely was for Wayman. I've seen them use the "KOL" with the OU before on various TV appearances.

This shirt (http://www.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/fanfire.woa/wa/product?sourceCode=KOLWEB&sku=KOL44947)also shows some resemblance.

They're fans of OU. There's a video out there of them at the first game last year, tailgating and hanging out. It's probably on YouTube.

Two of them were born in Oklahoma City. All four have lived in Oklahoma at some point.

Most of their family still lives in Oklahoma. They also have family reunions in Talihina, Oklahoma.

They are starting to get more pub in the states. I know they've been big overseas for a while.

theyve been around for a sec. kinda came out when that whole "we're shamelessly ripping off the stooges scene" came about. haven't checked the new album but hated the first so whats the point. i know rolling stone is all up on their collective nutsacks, so maybe thats why theyre getting "big" now. meh.....

The new album is a little different then the rest. I hadn't heard of them until I went and got my haircut and they had one of there CD's playing. I like their newest album better then the others.

I saw them at Jazz Fest. I had to skip Bon Jovi to check them out. They had an OU helmet on top of the bass drum. The show was excellent. I'm a fan.

Should I yell "BOOMER" in tiny George, Washington Saturday night?

That would be funny if I got a response...from the band, not the crowd.

They were on Conan O'Brien the other night. Did anyone see it?
The drummer had KOUL on the drum cover and the OU Football helmet on a stand as well. Then after Conan came to say thanks, the drummer shook Conan's hand and dropped the horns.

Someone needs to offer them sideline tickets for the games.

Thank God I saw your post. I was about to listen to some KOL, but since you think they suck I won't waste my time.

Your posts...meh

My sister was just telling me she loves this band. She didn't even know the OU connection.
