People really seem to love The Features' song Thursday. The Features have ended a vast majority of their sets with the classic and it prompts countless people to come here to find out about it. For that reason, we figured it was a topic worth "pinning". Although unfortunately not found on the debut major-label release Exhibit A, it was originally recorded about 7 or 8 years ago and released on vinyl (w/Rabbit March).

The "classic" recording of this song is available for download here, but we recommend you find a live recording somewhere.

without any exception, for me this has to be "The Features" finest moment, an absolute classic, i have been lucky enough to catch them 3 times on there current tour with K.O.L. Of all 3 gigs and both sets this track edges it for me ........
stop wasting valuable time & get downloading

is there a way to actually download the song onto your pc? coz when i try it just opens up damn quicktime and plays it!

the features were amazing in newcastle last night, got my c.d. signed (yey) that whistling song is the best

i was lucky enough to see 'the features' twice in london at the kings of leon shows! they won me over in about 20 seconds....i bought two of their cds and are listening to them non-stop, as well as 'thursday'! i've never seen a song performed so well!! i can only hope they tour in the US or at least in chicago!! i love those boys and i need to see them again!!

awesome!!!

thanks for this... defininetly a stand out of the show

So, has anyone else got the original single of this? Or should I put mine on eBay and cross my fingers?

I would imagine most of the US people here have...

Are there US people on here? It seems to be all Kings Of Leon UK show reviews and questions that US folks would know instantly.

I'm seceding my house from the union. Not for slavery, just for egomaniacal reasons.

That's what happens when a band plays an exhaustive tour in front of thousands and thousands of people in a country where they're much better recieved. They've only played a handful of shows here in the US in past few months, hence the paucity of show reviews. Plus, after years of discussion (check the archives), we start running out of things to talk about.

(Unless, of course, we have something to procrastinate over-- like writing a dissertation or something)

why do you think they are received much better in the uk?

Because most US pop music sucks.

there are now two whistling songs in the features set: thursday and gates of hell. i prefer gates of hell.

Is another witty joke, or is there really a new song called Gates of Hell?

According to the recent UK show reviews, this song is very real.. and very good.

The Mysterious you never lies. Twenty-four more conversions and 3 more miracles, and he'll be an official prophet of Daigle.


And when have we ever lied about the existence of a Features song?

"gates of hell" is excellent....slower than a lot of other stuff they do....but it builds and builds and really gets loud and strong about midway.....never very fast....and then comes back down......and there is whistling at the end......

hold up now, I said "witty joke." As much cynicism and sarcastic comments this place has, they 're almost always funny.

And the title really made me think that it was some type of inside joke or something... it hardly sounds like a song The Features would sing.

I really hope someone can record this upcoming show... It's going to be fantastic.

Well, I've heard pretty much none of the new Features songs...I'm interested as to hear what they sound like. Anyone got any bootlegs? I'd be willing to trade for other Features goodies I have, both over the Internet or via the mail...(PM or jakob.dorof@gmail.com if you're interested)

I knew i should have recorded it when they played it!

there is a great music scene in the uk now, all the heavyweight bands are american i.e kings of leon, white stripes, foo fighters, greenday, killers, bravery, strokes, LCD Soundsystem, Queens Of the Stoneage to name a few......... morale of the story you keep hold of your jessica simpsons / brittneys and well rock & roll with top knotch bands

xxxxxxx

i get scared when matt says "hell".
