British seasoned rockers KASABIAN, one of the best bands of the past 25 years on
record and on stage in my book, unleashed their 8th longplayer, titled HAPPENINGS.

Pizzorno (songwriter/frontman): “‘Happenings’ is a pop record, in a way – it’s just
big song after big song. I wanted to make the point, then leave as fast as possible.”

NME says: “At just 28 minutes in length, Kasabian’s eighth studio effort is concise, precise and generally focused. This allows a vibrant emotional clarity to bleed through its swaggering fabric, adding up to Kasabian’s strongest album in some years.”

TUTV: Since former frontman Tom Meighan left the group in 2020, their wild drugs-fueled rockin’ days are over. Well, sort of. Yes, all 10 songs are disco-dance spiced stompers, but not the Taylor Swift way. Many decibels and pyrotechnics are still involved like on Call, How Far Will You Go, and Hello of It.

Half of the tracks are tailor-made for big festivals, stadiums’s and other mammoth happenings where fans want to forget the daily rat race for a while. As Serge puts
it : “Art, for me, is relaxation – I panic when I’m not doing it.”.
