I don’t think we’ve ever featured The Kooks on Sick Chirpse in all the time we’ve been running the website because why the hell would they? They had one pretty big hit back in 2006 or whenever and nobody has really ever talked about them since.

That was terribly naive of us though (lol I know) as their guitarist – apparently a guy called Hugh Harris – has just gone on the band Flawes’ Meet at the Hotel Bar podcast and told a story about how he got really drunk on a night out recently and managed to blag Kylie Minogue’s phone number. Here’s what he had to say about it:

I met her recently at Annabel’s and she’s lovely, she’s a really sweet woman.

I was so drunk that I actually asked for her phone number.

I couldn’t believe what I was doing. I was like, “Am I gonna do this? Yeah, i’m gonna do this” – “Can I have your phone number please?”

Her friend next to her was obviously like, “Who the f*** does this guy think he is asking for Kylie’s phone number?”

But do you know what she did? She turned around and she was like, “Yeah of course, here you go,” and it was this gorgeous moment.

I don’t know if it’s her real number or not. I haven’t tried it.

Lol that’s kind of a cool story if he hadn’t have put that line in at the end right? I still don’t really believe it’s true though because he’s not exactly that good looking and I doubt Kylie would know he was, although she has dated a bunch of young hipsters in the past so maybe he’s got that going for him.

The truth is that I don’t think we’ll ever find out for sure though because the guitarist from The Kooks is probably never going to come up in the popular news cycle ever again. I’ve forgotten what his name was just as I was writing this article because he’s so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Nice try from the guy with this story though I suppose. He moves in his own way.
