Editor's note

Kasabian's raw psychedelic grooves and festival anthems

A Leicester band that mixed electronic touches with big-stage energy across two decades.

For a quick sense of their energy, try 'Shoot The Runner' or 'Happiness'. Both capture that mix of psychedelic groove and big chorus they've always done well.

Kasabian's debut in 2004 brought a sound that felt both raw and ready for arenas, with tracks like 'Fast Fuse' and 'Cutt Off' setting a high-energy tone. Their later work, including songs such as 'Where Did All The Love Go?' and 'Are You Looking For Action', balanced anthemic choruses with a trippy undercurrent. That mix kept them relevant as festival headliners, with Serge Pizzorno's guitar and Tom Meighan's vocals driving the band through lineup shifts.

They formed in Leicester in 1997 and released their self-titled debut album in 2004. Records like 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum' in 2009 and 'Velociraptor!' in 2011 added more layers to their sound while maintaining an anthemic quality. By 2017's 'For Crying Out Loud', they were established headliners, with the core drive staying recognizable despite some lineup changes.

Archive material and source history

Kasabian formed in Leicester in 1997 with Tom Meighan on vocals, Serge Pizzorno on guitar, Chris Edwards on bass, and Ian Matthews on drums. Their self-titled debut album arrived in 2004, bringing a mix of psychedelic grooves and electronic touches that felt both raw and ready for big stages. Songs like 'Fast Fuse' and 'Cutt Off' from that record gave a clear sense of their energy.

Their second album, 'Empire,' pushed them further into the mainstream, though Edwards left the band in 2006. They kept going with records like 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum' in 2009 and 'Velociraptor!' in 2011, each adding more layers to their sound while keeping the anthemic quality intact. Tracks such as 'Where Did All The Love Go?' and 'Are You Looking For Action' show how they balanced big choruses with a slightly trippy undercurrent.

By 2017's 'For Crying Out Loud,' they were firmly established as festival headliners, with Meighan's charismatic delivery and Pizzorno's guitar work remaining central. The lineup shifted at times, with touring members like Jay Mehler on bass and Tim Carter on keyboards joining in, but the core drive stayed recognizable.
