Yessssss! What a corker!

Yessssss! What a corker! Kasabian’s alt folk gem sounds like the spliffed out, bongo-ed up grandchild of Gomez’s ‘Whippin’ Piccadilly’ and The Stone Roses’ ‘Tightrope’ with a sniff of Happy Mondays for good measure. Delivering danceable rhythms, funk-fuelled basslines, hip-shakin’ acoustic guitars and insanely hummable melodies with undeniable style on their debut single these boys look like they might be in it for the long haul.

In an exclusive interview with Hot Press published today, Kasabian speak openly about the negative impact of the Internet on music, and contemplate wiping out computers and blowing up iTunes!

2010-01-14

Kasabian's anthemic back catalogue immediately lends itself to that unique festival feeling, with the singalong factor reaching dizzy new heights.

Stonking new record from former Lad rockers. Who’d have thought?

2009-06-29

They've also a new album on the way.

Dolan’s Warehouse has scored a major coup by bringing Kasabian to Limerick for a Marlay Park warm-up gig on August 12.

Kasabian have wrung no more than a handful of killer pop moments from a somewhat one-dimensional sound. But the enthusiastic crowd reaction at Hineken Green Energy has tempered my less than converted position just a little.

Kasabian are the first headline act to be confirmed for this year’s Heineken Green Energy festival, which takes place from May 5 to 7 in Dublin Castle.

Are they Madchester tribute band charlatans, an even more half-baked Kula Shaker, or swaggering rock monsters from Leicester? The jury is still out in the case of The People vs Kasabian.

2006-09-14

Too many half-baked ideas, none of them original, shoehorned into insubstantial songs.

2006-08-31

Fresh from strutting their stuff at Oxegen, Kasabian will be joined by The Rapture and Hot Chip to play a special show in Belfast as part of a new Channel 4 music programme.

2006-07-14

Good news for those who didnt manage to get hold of an Oxegen ticket.

When not locking themselves away in 18th-century farmhouses and getting freaked out by UFOs, Mani-endorsed English rockers Kasabian are setting ablaze the UK indie scene and claiming, “If you cut our skins, we bleed rock’n’roll.” Danielle Brigham talks to the group’s consummately charming frontman, Tom Meighan

2004-11-23

By now we’ve become used to new bands arriving in a blaze of their own hyperbole, but even still Leicester’s Kasabian do seem to fancy themselves a fair bit.
