Artist Biography
Kasabian are a British indie rock band from Leicester
Kasabian are:
* Tom Meighan - Lead vocals & Backing vocals * Serge Pizzorno - Guitar, Synths, Backing vocals & Lead vocals * Ian Matthews - Drums & Percussion * Christopher Edwards - Bass * Jason Mehler - Guitar
The band has been compared with the likes of Primal Scream, with their similar electronica-indie rock fusion and Oasis, with whom they share their confidence, vision, swagger and rough vocal style.
It has been speculated that the name "Kasabian" is taken from the getaway driver (named Linda Kasabian) for the Tate murders committed by the Manson Family.
Their first album was simply "Kasabian", and in 2004 recieved lacklustre reviews. However, tracks such as Cutt Off and L.S.F (Lost Souls Forever) reached the UK top 10, and with 2 more top 20 hits and the album peaking at #4 in the UK Album Charts, they defied the critics.
