Kooks bassist quits band



Max Rafferty, troubled bassist for Brighton sensations The Kooks, has departed the band.

Rafferty’s reported drug problems have seen him take several time-outs from playing, but there’s no indication his permanent exit is in any way related.

“Max Rafferty has parted company with The Kooks,” a statement confirms. “The band will be continuing with the forthcoming shows. Dan Logan, bassist with local Brighton band Cat The Dog, will be filling in for the short-term.”

The Kooks are set to release a second album, Konk, in April, and have a string of sold-out UK dates stretching till the end of February.
