Kasabian

Announce 'Velociraptor!' Tour.

We're very pleased to announce that the Kasabian live machine will be rolling into a town near you in just a couple of months - it's the 'Velociraptor!' tour.

Kasabian are an indie-rock band who hail from Leicester, England. 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. The name “Kasabian” is taken from the getaway driver (named Linda Kasabian) for the Tate murders committed by the Manson Family.

Originally comprising vocalist Tom Meighan, guitarist and keyboardist Christopher Karloff, guitarist and backing vocalist Sergio Pizzorno and bassist Chris Edwards, the band have released three studio albums – Kasabian (2004), Empire (2006) and West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum (2009). The band currently features Meighan, Pizzorno, Edwards, drummer Ian Matthews and former touring guitarist Jay Mehler who became a full-time member in late 2010. Pizzorno has also taken over as Kasabian's lead songwriter since Karloff's departure.
