Shockwaves NME Awards Show: Kasabian, Hammersmith Palais; Tues Feb 13

Kasabian V Festival 2006

Kasabian V Festival 2006

It was BIG, and it was CLEVER

Last time Kasabian played in London it was in the fun-vacuum that is Earl's Court and they still managed to summon up the spirit of T-Rex playing Spike Island. For their special friends NME, their next trick was to bring it back to the source, with a sweaty bumper-to-bumper session at Hammersmith Palais, the site of the awards themselves. And despite the sound cutting out at the start, the likes of 'Me Plus One' are as mighty as ever. Really, we're running out of big words.
