Kasabian/Chase & Status
Indie interview fact #352: when asked about their career ambitions, nine out of 10 bands will mumble and reply that they “just want to keep on making music”. Whether through humble self-deprecation, an all-too-sensible awareness of reality or...
Kasabian - 'Velociraptor!'
When asked recently why Kasabian had chosen to name their new album ‘ Velociraptor! ’ (that exclamation mark really makes it, don’t you think?) guitarist and amateur palaeontologist Sergio Pizzorno gave us a wonderfully ‘Serge’ answer:...
Live Review: Kasabian
Kasabian arrive at Liverpool’s Echo Arena three days after Arctic Monkeys and five after Beyoncé. Those are some pretty big shoes (and hotpants) to fill. But Kasabian don’t need to pretend to any thrones: they have two Number One albums under...
Album review: Kasabian - 'West Ryder Pauper...
Oasis. Lad rock. There, three words in and that’s the phrases obligatory to all Kasabian reviews out of the way. Good. Now we can move on, because they certainly have. Did you see last week’s NME cover? Does that look like a band to be...
Live Review: Kasabian
West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum’? ‘West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum’? However we’re supposed to pronounce Kasabian’s fantastically deranged new album title, it will always be one-up on ‘Music For The People’. Tom Clarke would be...
Kasabian
Listen: Kasabian are bloody brilliant, and anyone who doesn’t think so should go away and have a long hard think about where things like love, faith and jumping up and down sit on their list of priorities. The rest of you, read on. It’s been a...

Kasabian: Royal Albert Hall, London; Thursday,...
The Royal Albert Hall: a giant Fabergé egg resting on the corner of Kensington. Home to generations of mutton-chopped colonels high on sherry belting out ‘Rule Britannia’ in honour of an empire on which the sun never set. Tonight, it hosts an...
Kasabian: Me Plus One
If you are at a loose end and want to while away a few hours, then one fun way to do so is putting on Kasabian’s ‘Empire’ – the single, not the album – and singing The Timelords’ comedy-glam-house hit ‘Doctorin’ The Tardis’ over...
Kasabian: De Montfort Hall, Leicester; Tuesday,...
Kasabian haven’t exactly been averse to sharing their stages with elder musical statesman in recent months – and before this gig’s even begun, it’s clear tonight is no different. But hang on a minute, the old man shuffling onstage is not...
