Leicester rock n roll band Kasabian have been around for a few years now, already on their third album, but they are now classed very much as a headline act. I remember seeing the boys from the midlands in their early days at a very small gig in Manchester, at the Academy 3 (one of the smaller rooms at the University of Manchester). At the time, Tom reminded me of Mick Jagger, the way he strutted round the stage, clapping his hands. He has probably the best stage presence since Liam Gallagher graced the stage for Oasis, and a recent gig I went to not so long ago at the MEN Arena in Manchester showed that Kasabian have definitely arrived. I’ve also seen them at Oxygen festival in Dublin at the time their first album was out.
They openly admit to having dreamed of following bands like Oasis who were their childhood heroes (and have supported them on tour). With Tom and Serge as the forefront of the band, I think they’ll go from strength to strength over the next decade.
Leicester lads Tom, Serge and clan will dominate with Kasabian over the next decade!
