We have been totally absorbed, ensconced and just plain overwhelmed by the Fall music scene in the US North West and we have just realised that .. holy crap..... it has been totally under our radar that the "Big Day Out' which (for those of the uninformed) is the biggest, rocking'est, hottest most bloody awesome summer music festival in Australia is rolling on in full flight....

This the first single from Kasabian's new album, "The West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum," to be released in June. I like how the song turns out. This is definitely one of the stuff I like to have being stuck in my head playing. I also like how Kasabian spiced things up here a bit. I think it sounds less darkish without going overboard. It's nice that the band managed to retain that old 'Kasabian...

While my dreams of soccer glory might have ended in college (let’s face it, I probably wasn’t going to play anywhere of substance), my rock star dreams have lived on past the realization that I do, in fact, have sausage fingers. Combining my love for all things Guitar Hero and footie, well, that definitely [...]

Tom Meighan, lead singer with Mercury music prize nominee Kasabian, has branded American music fans "deluded" and said they are 30 years behind the UK musically. He told UK radio station XFM that, "You have to be U2 or Coldplay to get radio play. Americans are deluded, not all of them. They think they're ahead, but musically they're not.

Leicestershire, UK-bred Rocktronica quintet Kasabian kicked me and Emeyesi's asses with their self-titled debut in 2004. Their 2006 follow-up 'Empire' was ahh-ight, but it abandoned the Radiohead-meets-RJD2 sound that made their debut so striking. From the sound of their new song "Vlad the Impaler," and the look of its eye-catchingly horrific Richard Ayoade-directed and Noel Fielding-starring...

One of the bands that might well be worth the watch at Glastonbury this weekend, whether you’re actually there or watching on TV, will be Kasabian.
