I saw them opening for The Who last June
They're English.
They're not as guitar driven as the newer bands you seem to like. A couple of the guys in the band play keyboards/synthesizers
That said, they're not exactly the Human League either. More rock orientated.
They've done quite well over here with their first album. I'm not sure if they'd be your thing, but $10 to see ANY band these days is a giveaway. |

I'd definitely go see them. Sure, they may not be all guitars like most of the new bands around, but I like their sound. |

Thanks to both of you. 
I'm off to see Paul Westerberg next Friday, but after that I'm open for offers.  |

Man, I thought you were talking about Linda Kasabian who was one of Manson's monsters back in '69. |

So is this band named after that lost child of the 60's? Link - http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/manson/mansonothers.html |

I'm sure they kicked the Who off the stage. |

10 bucks?
Christ, go for it! They look cool and have a few good tunes anyway.
DON'T BE SUPRISED if Mick asks them to support on the up coming tour. They're one of the "in" bands at the moment. |

I would seriously doubt their name is some kind of 'endorsement' for Charlie...
(anyway, wasnt Linda Kasabian the 'Family' member who ended up testifying for the prosecution?) |

Good album and definately worth $10 to go and see, with two very recognisable songs which did well in the charts. Kind of an early 90s baggy sound but quite hard to label them definitively.

KASABIAN STAR HOSPITALISED
The first date of KASABIAN’s latest UK tour ended in chaos last night (April 22) as guitarist SERGE PIZZORNO was hit by a bottle flung from the audience at GLASGOW’s CARLING ACADEMY and was unable to continue.
The band had already played much of their main set - including 'Processed Beats', 'Test Transmission' and 'Reason Is Treason' - to a high-spirited audience. Although plastic pint cups were being flung amidst the crowd, however, it appeared to be a bottle which struck Pizzorno on his temple during 'The Night Workers' and caused him to drop to the floor. The band quickly followed him as he was helped offstage, with singer Tom Meighan assuring the audience they would be back "in two minutes".
After a heated five-minute wait which saw the crowd directing football chants in the direction of the culprit, however, a member of the production crew took the mic and informed everyone that the bottle had cut Pizzorno’s head, that he was going to hospital, and that the gig was over, before chastising the bottle-thrower. Reports from audience members differ as to exactly what sort of missile was thrown, with one near the front identifying it as a plastic water bottle.
Despite the crowd’s disappointment, they left the venue peacefully and in high spirits, although fan favourite 'LSF' and a three-song encore which included 'Club Foot' remained unplayed. At time of writing it was unclear whether these events would have any effect on the rest of the tour, due to continue tonight (Saturday 23) at the same venue.

Buy it! It's very different from most new "indie" stuff out there tho...Yes they could definitely support Rolling Stones on next tour - Kasabian love Stones as well!
Album is quite house music driven but with late 80s early 90s guitars on there i.e. Stone Roses era - it's all good. But truth be told they ain't gonna change your world... |
