Kings of Leon Say That Their Songs Start on Bar Napkins

Twenty years ago, long before Kings of Leon became festival headliners, Caleb Followill made
a deal with one of his friends.

"He and I used to go to random bars, all over the world," says the singer. "Wherever we were, if we had a day off, we'd put our finger on a map and go, 'Alright, we're going to go to this little dive bar'. "And we would sit there and get some bar napkins. I would write poetry and he would draw pictures. And we would trade 'em off to each other and say, 'Alright, whichever one of us is going to be famous first, you own my lyrics - and likewise I own your art'."

Needless to say, his friend got the better end of the bargain. A signed copy of Caleb's lyrics for Use Somebody recently sold for $6,600 (£4,800) at auction - so those wine-stained poems could be a lucrative little nest egg.

Caleb also held on to some of the napkins, too, and every so often he finds one lying around
his house in Nashville.

"I mean, I open books and I have bar napkins from all over the world," he says.

"Some of the poems are not as great, and that will let you know how boozy that night was. But every now and then, there's a clear little picture that I'm painting - and you don't remember exactly when you wrote it, or how you wrote it, but it can definitely make you proud."

Skinner & T'witch's New Single , 'Living in the Dream' - Due For Release on 19 March 2021

Skinner & T'witch's forthcoming indie-folk single, 'Living in the Dream' (a pre-release from their forthcoming album, 'The Songcatcher') is due for release on March 19th!

Skinner & T'witch are delighted by the superb cover for the single (even if they do say so themselves!), just back from the design studio of the wonderfully creative Sarah Patrick: www.sarahpatrickdesign.co.uk

'Living in the Dream' captures surreal and subconscious perceptions of post industrial city living, inspired by traffic jams, monolothic buildings, busy streets, and urban routines.

The song features the marvellous Joshua Burnell on keys, Hugh Bradley on electric bass, John Rodgers on lead guitar, and John Arneson on drums.

'The Songcatcher' album is due for release later this year.
