Description
When three teenaged brothers and their cousin rebelled against their strict, religious Southern upbringing to form Kings of Leon, their humble backstory garnered almost as much attention as their music. Many questioned if they were really related and if rumors of their father being a Pentecostal preacher were true. Since then, the band has achieved worldwide, Grammy® Award-winning success and Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon lies to rest the mystery and myths as it details the rise to fame from their bible belt beginnings.

The documentary kicks off at the annual Followill family reunion in the back woods of Talihina, OK, where the boys return to their roots and unwind with their family. First-time director and Followill friend Stephen C. Mitchell weaves personal home videos, unedited interviews and behind-the-scenes footage of the band's journey from their small-town beginnings -- spent in poverty and touring the circuit with their father, a Pentecostal evangelist minister, and their devout mother -- to living the rock star dream.

Hear a teaser of unreleased Kings Of Leon track – video

The DVD release of Kings Of Leon documentary Talihina Sky: The Story Of Kings Of Leon is set to feature a previously unreleased track on its extras, Spin reports.

The documentary, which made its debut in UK cinemas on June 25, chronicles the band's entire career so far, from their modest upbringing to their rise to international fame.

Fan site Closer To KOL posted the clip, which shows the band playing the song during a soundcheck before a gig, with soundbites of interviews with family members playing throughout. The actual vocals to the song don't begin until about two minutes in.

The band recently made a successful return to the stage in South Africa and Australia after cancelling their US tour and going on hiatus in July. Drummer Nathan Followill told Australia's news.com.au that the time away did the band well:

Quote:
The break did us all good. We actually got the chance to miss what we do for a living. It's easy to take that for granted when it seems like it's always going to be there.

Talihina Sky will be available in the UK on DVD and Blu-ray on October 31. Check out NME's review of the film and watch the clip below.

I really like these guys. Good country folk and being like the Wilson's brothers (Beach Boys) brothers and cousin at that. The Fleet Foxes is another that have high regard. Glad to see in this rapid rise to fame like Glee, American Idol or whatever pop culture we still have "real" bands with real life stories to draw from.

Ah, I see now. "Talihina" is actually the name of a place in Oklahoma.

I thought it was an Indian word which meant "pigeon droppings" :lol:
