60.000 Exploded When KASABIAN Get On FIRE At TRNSMT In Scotland Last Weekend

Posted on by JL

Leicester champs KASABIAN are one of the best live bands I witnessed in
the past 15 years. Always a rapturous get-together party when they hit the
stage.

After launching their newest LP The Alchemist’s Euphoria last year, they
took the road and are still going hot on several summer festivals this year.

Last weekend they were in Scotland at the TRNSMT fest.

60.000 went bonkers and exploded when frontman Serge Pizzorno
whipped them up for an orgastic finale of their 2009 blast FIRE (more
than 153 million streams on Spotify).

This short snippet says it all.

Two weeks ago I got fired up too when the band incited
the crowd with a blistering set at Rock Werchter in Belgium.

KASABIAN On Fire At ROCK WERCHTER Last Week

Posted on by JL

Last year Leicester’s rock champs KASABIAN returned with their victorious
comeback LP The Alchemist’s Euphoria. The first without their inflammable
frontman Tom Meighan who left the band following mental and personal
problems.

Singer-songwriter Serge Pizzorno who sang on
Kasabian songs before is now the group’s full-time
vocalist.

A couple of weeks ago they dropped brand new single ALGORITHMS.
A feel-very-good, amplified pop lullaby with an oh-oh-oh sing-along chorus.

Last Friday I saw them at Rock Werchter playing a FAN-DANCE-TASTIC set for an euphoric crowd. It was weird for a big fan like me and many others to see them for the first time without Tom Meighan. But Pizzorno‘s non-stop, infectious jump-up-and-down performance was just staggering and we all embraced the new look Kasabian with open arms while getting on fire.

Waking Up With… A Striking Algorithmic Pop Lullaby By KASABIAN

Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

Last year Leicester’s rock heroes KASABIAN returned with their triumphant comeback
LP The Alchemist’s Euphoria, without their flamboyant frontman Tom Meighan who left the band following mental and personal problems. Singer-songwriter Serge Pizzorno who already sung on Kasabian songs before is now the group’s full-time vocalist.

To warm up for a hot festival summer they released, recently, a brand-new
song named ALGORITHMS. It sounds a bit like an amplified pop lullaby with
a striking sing-along chorus. Score!

Tune in.

Two years ago Leicester’s rock heroes KASABIAN fired their flamboyant frontman Tom Meighan after he got convicted for assaulting his girlfriend (afterward, they got married).

The band’s songwriter Serge Pizzorno, who occasionally
sang Kasabian songs in the past, is the new vocalist, on the
brand new LP, baptized THE ALCHEMIST’S EUPHORIA.

NME and Serge Pizzorno sat down for an
extensive interview about the past and the future of the band.

“The aftermath of Tom’s departure was like trying to pick up the pieces of your life”

“Our earlier years were beautiful and always will be, but that was then and this is now”

“The band wanted to carry on. What else were we gonna do?”

“Liam Gallagher’s always been beautiful to us. There’s nothing but support and love.”

“There’s some beautiful things on the way. The album feels great and we’re really happy”

KASABIAN Is Dead! Long Live KASABIAN! New Album ‘THE ALCHEMIST’S EUPHORIA’ Out Now

Posted on by JL

14 August 2022

Two years ago flamboyant frontman Tom Meighan left KASABIAN following personal problems. The announcement came via this statement from the band: “Tom Meighan is stepping down from Kasabian by mutual consent. Tom has struggled with personal issues that have affected his behavior for quite some time, and now wants to concentrate all his energies on getting his life back on track.”

The band’s songwriter Serge Pizzorno, who occasionally
sang Kasabian songs in the past, is the new vocalist, on the
new full length, baptized THE ALCHEMIST’S EUPHORIA,
released 2 days ago.

NME says: “The band’s seventh album – and first with Serge Pizzorno on the mic – is a space-inspired recalibration that still boasts old-school anthems aplenty. Kasabian have always been about having a good fucking time, and although this is understandably their most introspective record yet, it does point to euphoria ahead. Back in May, the frontman told NME: “This album was just us saying, ‘Let’s see what we can do – let’s see where we can take this’. On the evidence of this surprising, eclectic and intimate record – which still finds time for the anthems of old – the answer is: as far as they want to”. Score: 4/5.

TUTV: Without rock frontman Tom Meighan I guess the band’s mastermind Serge Pizzorno made/released the synth-pop-symphonic orientated album he already had in his head for a long time, but was afraid to share it under the old Kasabian banner – the rock gang. So here it’s now. And hats off to Pizzorno for doing the bold thing: not looking back at the good old rock days, and instead re-start with a new(er) sound, the one he would have developed some time, anyway. On the other hand, honestly, I liked the first Kasabian version better.
