Kasabian Biography (Modern Alternative Rock)


Kasabian are an English Alternative rock band who formed in Leicestershire in 1999. Their eponymous debut album was released in the UK on 13 September 2004 receiving good sales and generally positive reviews. It was their third single release "Club Foot" that finally gave Kasabian success in the singles charts. The song, which was written in the early years of Kasabian, went on to enjoy both critical and commercial success, becoming one of the band's best loved songs, and being performed at nearly every Kasabian live performance since its release. The song was the theme for the skate game Tony Hawk's Project 8, Pro Evolution Soccer 5, as well as being featured in the movies. These illustrious representations in different forms of media lead to their increasing popularity and fame.

Their style harks back to the baggy days of the late 1980s and early 90s, seamlessly switching between bass-heavy anthems ("Club Foot") and blissed-out tracks ("I.D."). --- Robert Burrow

They have since released two more albums, both becoming successful, the most recent being West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum which in 2010 reached number one in the UK top 40 charts, spending two weeks there. Huge successful songs such as “Fire” and “underdog” can be heard on this album also.

The image of the band is very rock’n’roll, with the strong front man (Serge Pizzorno) showing the need for an imposing, charismatic lead singer. (2nd from the right in the above picture)
