Daily electricity to load your batteries

British star rockers KASABIAN, one of the best bands of the past 25 years
on record and on stage, in my book, unleashed their 8th longplayer, baptized
Happenings last year and they’re gearing up for their 9th next year. Details TBA.

But first, the brand new lead single, called HIPPIE SUNSHINE.

Serge Pizzorno (bandleader/singer/songwriter) talked to NME about the song:

“I was watching an Adam Curtis documentary about hyper-individuals and I was thinking
about escapism and how we are lost in this place where escape seems to be the only answer.
It feels like a shame that we aren’t finding something to bring us all together and connect us. That’s where that title comes from.

“I’m very proud of the Lou Reed/Elton John section. The DNA of the band is about that. I’ve always loved a little surprise. From a proper glam stomp to a gear change like that is really exciting. On the third or fourth listen you can’t wait for that bit to happen.”

Jump! Jump! Jump.

Along with the news and the single came the announcement
of a huge concert next summer in Finsbury Park, London.
