KINGS OF LEON WIN GRAMMY NEWS

RCA Records is proud to announce Kings of Leon's 2009 Grammy win for 'Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals' for their smash hit single 'Sex On Fire'.

The win comes a week after their epic sold-out performance at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City on January 29th, and a few days following the announcement of their Spring Arena Tour of the United States.

Only By The Night was released on September 23, 2008 and debuted in the top five on the Billboard top 200 and #1 at the iTunes store. The band has since performed on Saturday Night Live and Late Night with David Letterman. The band appeared on the cover of Spin magazine's October issue, and was on the cover of Q magazine's December issue in the UK, in which they received "Record of the Year" honors.

Many exciting announcements regarding Kings Of Leon's plans for 2009 to come.

"The music swelled to fill the arena, from the ominous stomp that opened the set, 'Crawl' to the lean defiance of 'Knocked Up' and, suitable for the occasion, the triumphal 'Manhattan,' which promises to 'show this town how to kiss these stars.'" -Jon Pareles (New York Times review of 1/29/09 at MSG)
