Glastonbury 2009 Diary: Part 2

By Jonathan Dekel (CHARTattack) July 2, 2009 2:45 pm
Hospitality Campgrounds Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival 10:30 a.m. I awake in a bath of warm sweat. It seems in my hurry to buy an economy tent the previous day I'd forgotten to get one with some sort of window or breeze system. The forecast once again calls for rain, and yet, judging by the 40-degree Celsius weather in this tent, the...

Kasabian Have Earned The Right To Boast

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) September 29, 2006 5:30 pm
The drizzly night started off with the MySpace rock of One Thousand Pictures, who seemed to have way too many members to be making such generic radio-glam music. The frontman's posing and gesturing seemed to go on a sliding scale from irritating to distracting to downright ridiculous. Sir, you are not the eyeliner-drenched lovechild of Jon Bon...

Kasabian — Kasabian

in
By Steve English (CHARTattack) September 14, 2004 1:59 pm
For a gang of dope-smoking townies from a pastoral backwater farming town, Leicester, U.K.’s Kasabian do paranoia and inner-city tension awfully well. The dense, narcotic end-of-civilization-as-we-know-it narratives of their self-titled debut are populated with a full complement of riot cops, black helicopters and firebomb-tossing youth striking...

Danko Jones drummer Dan Cornelius has left the band, and will be replaced on tour by Rocket From The Crypt/Angels & Airwaves/Offspring drummer Atom Willard. Hopefully this means Danko Jones will not start sounding like the latter two bands. Want some free tracks from Austra, Young Galaxy, Winter Gloves, PS I Love You, The Rural Alberta...

Chilly Gonzales is going to release what he's calling the world's "first-ever all-orchestral...

Kasabian celebrated the end of their tour in support of last year's West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum by gatecrashing two weddings with Noel Gallagher. We're guessing there was plenty of booze involved and the language got quite... appropriately filthy. —The Sun My Morning Jacket, R.E.M. and Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom...

Muse, Eminem, Kasabian Playing T In The Park

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) February 23, 2010 4:33 pm
Eminem doesn't strike me as the type of bloke who'd mash a cuppa splosh (that's brew a cup of tea to you), but regardless, he's one of the headliners at this year's T In The Park festival. The three-day event takes place July 9 to 11 in Balado, Scotland. Muse will headline the first day, while Eminem and Kasabian will top the bill on the 10th and...

Kasabian Headlining T In The Park

in
By Mark Teo (CHARTattack) December 3, 2009 5:18 pm
It's never too early to start thinking about summer festivals and Balado, Scotland's T In The Park has named Kasabian as its first headliner. The British dance-rockers aren't strangers to the festival, which takes place from July 9 to 11. It's the fourth time they've played in Balado, and their first appearance since 2007. But it's the first...

Kasabian Sidelined By Swine Flu

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 13, 2009 12:47 pm
Jet's Nic Cester might not have swine flu, but everyone in Kasabian does. Frontman Tom Meighan was recently hospitalized in Australia after flying there from Japan, and he and the band are being quarantined in their hotel rooms in Sydney. That's lead to Kasabian cancelling their Australian shows. "We're all sick as dogs, man,"...

Pumping: Kasabian — The West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum

I can see why this album is getting a lot of attention. It's a pretty decent melding of Britpop, electronica and more experimental stuff. I doubt it's as full of insanity as its namesake, though.

We were never too on that very short-lived Kasabian bandwagon, but going back and listening, this ain't all that bad. Now, neither was that one Death In Vegas album, but nobody talks about them anymore either, but at least it's better than The Music. Remember them? Boy, did they suck.

Kasabian Hope To Add North America To Their Empire

in
By Aisha Khan (CHARTattack) October 24, 2006 5:30 pm
"You should turn your tape recorder off, you probably want to speak to Tom, yeah?" suggests a rather self-deprecating Ian Matthews, the second-to-newest addition to Leicester, England's Kasabian. Lead singer Tom Meighan has just "stepped out for a fag." I assure Matthews that I wouldn't mind speaking to just him. "...
