Genetically intertwined Tennessee rockers Kings of Leon have now amassed enough money that, for purposes of their latest album, "WALLS," they moved all their wives and children to Los Angeles. Then the band members — Jared, Caleb, Matthew and Nathan Followill — quickly hauled butt to Amsterdam at top speed to record amidst the legal hookers and hash!

Not really.

They indeed recorded in L.A., with families in tow and producer Markus Dravs leading the way, because the Followills are older and wiser now. The shenanigans of the past are distant memories, and, with "WALLS," they continue to evolve their sound in a direction that reminds me most of, believe it or not, The Killers if they'd been listening to The Fixx. That's very cool.

There are a lot of pretty great songs on "WALLS" including "Reverend," "Waste a Moment," "Conversation Piece," "Find Me" and "Over." See Kings of Leon Saturday in the Mohegan Sun Arena. On a recording, this is the best the band's ever sounded, and I'm betting it will translate to live performance.

Kings of Leon, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Mohegan Sun Arena; with Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats; $39-$79; 1-800745-3000.
