Louis XIV was a quartet indie rock group from san diego, california, formed in April 2003. They were formed from the band Convoy. Their first album, Louis XIV, was released in November 2003, followed two years later by the release of their EP Illegal Tender in January of 2005. Later that year they released their second album The Best Little Secrets Are Kept which entered into the US Billboard 200 and peaked at #159.
From this second album they released two singles, The Best Little Secrets Are Kept which entered the US Singles chart, and God Killed the Queen which entered the UK Singles chart. In September of 2007 the band released a second EP entitled The Distances from Everyone to You and in January of 2008 released their third album Slick Dogs And Ponies from which they have released the single Air Traffic Control which entered into the US Singles chart.
The band’s lyrics have resulted in them causing much controversy and subsequently they have been banned from playing live gigs in the state of Alabama. Their lyrics are filled with double meanings and sexual connotations, and are often condescending towards women.
The band split in 2010.

Really glad I saw this band multiple times before they broke up. I totally went to every signing and had such a big crush on Jason Hill in high school, it wasn't funny ehehehe.

I miss Louis XIV :( It's a good thing they broke up on good terms and said they'll be back together one day. Finding Out True Love is Blind has been one of my favorite songs ever since I first heard it in MVP Baseball 2005, 6 years ago.

Realized that I'm rather influenced by this band the other day. Rather shocking, and awesome! Banned in Alabama? WOW that's gotta be hard to offend them! (Overgeneralization ftw)

These guys were my favorite band when I was 12 years old. I miss them. [2] I remember showing up to every Louis XIV record signing and show when they were touring! By chance I ended up running into Jason at the movie theatre and Brian at my work at a graphic design firm. Miss them.
