Kasabian West Ryder Biography/Promo Pictures [HQ]

Posted in Articles/Interviews, Biography, Cool Shit, Photos on May 3, 2009 by Jennijops

Here’s hi-res versions of the album cover and promo pic, plus revised UK biography. Enjoy!



Kasabian are the great heretics of British rock; 21st century renegades with a romantic’s heart, a poet’s lust for life and a lysergic vision to sear the eyeballs of anyone who would doubt them.

“The third record is the one you’re judged on” says Serge Pizzorno, referring to the band’s extraordinary new album The West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum.

“It’s where you’ve established yourself and people find out who you really are. In terms of success we’ve breached the walls. Now it’s time to destroy the system from within.”

Kasabian Camden Crawl artwork

Posted in Cool Shit, Reviews on May 3, 2009 by Jennijops


These cute drawings of Tom, Serge and Chris are by Mike-Columbia. He writes the follow review on his blog:

Jo and I are off out tonight to see The View and Kasabian at The Roundhouse. 
I go and watch out front.     Kasabian come on to “Vlad the Impaler” it is perfect, all of the air raid spotlights going mental, the strobes, the sirens, everything you could ask for.  It is one hell of a punch with which to launch the show.  Follow it up with “Reason is Treason” a brutal one two.  Tom is fabulous, whipping the crowd into a frenzy; truly there are no frontmen in British bands who can hold a candle to him.   It is only a forty-minute set tonight, hemmed in by the constraints of the Camden Crawl.     “Fire” has been transformed  and gets everyone in the room punching the air tonight, I can’t wait until the recod is out there and everyone knows all the words.

Kasabian’s Sergio Pizzorno gives festival picks and tips

Posted in Articles/Interviews, Serge Pizzorno on May 2, 2009 by Jennijops

a1sergio_185x185_536521a

Kasabian are surely the ultimate festival band, Leicester lads whose roaring big songs were designed to be delivered al fresco and who famously told the NME that if you cut their veins they would bleed rock’n’ roll. They grew up loving the singalong anthems of Oasis and are now best mates with them, compadres in the art of playing loud music in fields. This summer, Kasabian release their third album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, and they play Glastonbury festival right before Bruce Springsteen, which they’re pretty excited about, especially when they think about how far they’ve come since first playing there in 2005.

Sergio Pizzorno, the band’s guitarist and songwriter, explains: “We were first on, not expecting many people there, but when we walked out on to the stage at noon it was full! I remember thinking, things are gonna be okay for us, we’re not just gonna be in a band for two weeks and then have to go back to work.” The rest of that weekend is a bit of a blur, though — he saw it through until Sunday afternoon “and then finally collapsed in my tent in a real state. I’ve never been back into a tent since. I’d been up for two days just wandering round in the mud — never even got to the Stone Circle or any of the best bits. We’re staying around to watch Bruce this year and then we’ll do it properly.”
