The Hoosiers (pictured) have attacked Kings of Leon for ‘not putting on a show’ when they headlined the Glastonbury Festival last month.
The music press was full of praise for the blues rockers after their Pyramid Stage set on the Friday night, but The Hoosiers' Irwin Sparkes believes they could have danced a bit.
Talking to The Daily Star, the frontman said: “I saw them at Glasto and they are good but they just don’t put on much of a show.
“You want something personal because you know they do it every day – you want them to make it feel special for you.
“We did some dances on stage at Glastonbury. We like to put on a bit of a show.”

Kings of Leon
Hey, idiots
they dont need to dance because people can listen to their music and not get bored by it.
As much as I fucking hate the hoosiers...
he actually makes a good point.
KOL don't put on much of a show, there are no surprises and its what makes them an average live band.
I am a huge fan of their music but have never been impressed with them live!
...
unfortunately that show was only seen by the punters who mistook The Hoosiers collective open mouths for urinals.
kings of leon suck live
the hoosiers suck all the time
OH WELL
they sound like they're talking about
lapdancing
!!!
nobodies adding their byline!!!
doh!
not byline, punchline. grrr myself.
i need to go away.
^this
KoL bore me to tears live. No crowd interaction, no charisma. They're like musical robots on stage
KOL were shit at Glasto.
They bored me hugely.
Fuck off Hoosiers...
Fuck off and die, now.
kthnxbye
when they say dancing
what about tap dancing?
These cunts have the shootability factot
in true abundance. Bang, Bang, Bang.........
It's a fair point
they don't say or do much on stage.
But they don't need to. The music does the talking for them (by which I don't mean Rob Harvey comes along and shouts a bit...)
No-one would dare criticse Radiohead for not interacting with the crowd.
and The Hoosiers are all crap
and by the sounds of it, tossers too.
i have seen
KOL 25 times live and not once have they danced.... 2 more shows to see this year too and bet they don't dance at them either.
actually...
"Our paper gave it 3 stars !!!! They said it was good but Thom Yorke didn't talk to the audience at all and didn't play any "well-known" numbers!!!"
That's what my parents sent me in an email. Dunno what paper it was. Probably The Times.
that vid
was pretty nice actually
^^^^^^^^^^^
this is brilliant
The Hoosiers
are actually pathetic, i couldnt despise their on stage presence more. They have a cheek saying anything about a band who are clearly better than them..many times over.
They could have danced a bit? Why would they do that? They dont need to, unlike those retarded gimps.
Bit of a crap headline...
They are hardly 'blasting' KOL, are they?
Lazy writing.
I enjoyed this article
But i've never seen KOL live, so they might be dreadful.
