One Fish-Two Fish has one of the best locations in Virginia Beach. The restaurant is located at the end of a very attractive marina pier and the atmosphere throughout the place seems just right. Make a reservation during sunset - you will not be disappointed! There are windows aplenty around the entire dining area and one can enjoy beautiful sunsets or just the bustle of marina life. The restaurant is beautiful, a large bar occupies the center of the dining area. The dining area has an open feel and is decorated in a very upscale fashion. The staff is professional and knowledgeable and the food is delicious.

The menu offers fresh seafood with California and Asian-inspired accents and daily specials with a distinct lean toward the local/slow-food trend. There are a variety of meats of course, but seafood is king here.

Get ready Hampton Roads because the Kings are coming back to rock the Virginia Beach Amphitheater once again. Saturday, September 11th at 7:30, the Kings of Leon will be here for one night to jam out with you.

Originally gaining popularity in Great Britain, the Kings of Leon are one of the hottest tickets around with their blend of southern rock, blues, alternative rock, and a mix of so many other genres that draws fans from every walk of life. And it's certain that night they'll play all of their hit songs that have been topping the charts for the last 10 years. But really, which song isn't a hit?!

The band, consisting of three brothers, Nathan, Caleb, and Jared, and their cousin Matthew, began tuning up in Franklin, Tennessee as the brothers were taught by their father Ivan "Leon" Followill during their youth. However, because Papa Leon was a preacher, the Followill brothers weren't really exposed to rock until they moved to Nashville where Rock and Roll consumed them. Soon after, they met songwriter Angelo Petraglia who helped them develop their talent and within a year the band was formed and the world was their oyster.

By 2003, the Kings of Leon released Youth and Young Manhood which topped the charts in the UK with hit singles like "Holy Roller Novocaine," "Molly's Chambers," and "Red Morning Light." The release of their 2004 album, Aha Shake Heartbreak, brought them popularity in the United States with their first US hit, "The Bucket." By 2007, The Kings of Leon were continuing their world dominance with the release of Because of the Times and making noise from The Netherlands to Ireland with hits like "On Call," "Fans," and "Charmer." It wasn't until 2008 with Only by the Night and hits like "Sex on Fire," "Notion," and "Use Somebody" reaching number 1 on the Billboards that the band was finally embraced by America. That same year, the album went platinum in the US, and 9 times in Australia.

With their fifth studio album Come Around Sundown set to drop October 19, I wouldn't be surprised if they were to sneak peek some singles. Hurry fast, there might be some tickets left!
