... on the sidewalk at the ever so iconic Westwood building, the Village Theatre Westwood (961 Broxton Ave). Have fun!
Update, 3:56 p.m.: The Kooks are walking over to the UCLA campus to play. No word yet on where they are headed specifically.
Update, 4:33 p.m.: About 150 showed up for the initial concert and now The Kooks are heading to a frat house to play, possibly indoors. The crowd has dispersed and about 40 stragglers are reported to be following the band through campus.
Update, 5:32 p.m.: The Kooks played four songs at Delta Tau Delta in a concert that sounded pretty wild, according to one LAist contributor. Earlier today, the band played at Venice Beach.
