Acid house
Don’t get me wrong I’m not the biggest fan of the tune, but why do so many people hate it haha. For me it’s like a 7/10 don’t mind listening to it and sometimes am in the mood for it. Think it’s pretty catchy too

Kasabian YouTube
Anyone find it a bit weird that kasabian have uploaded a load of stuff from the king power gig and a few records from fcol seven years after release on YouTube?

Dublin spare ticket for cheap?
I really want to go see them tomorrow but I don’t have the money for the full ticket price. Is there anyone willing to let their standing ticket go for cheap?

I was hoping for another amazing show and they always exceed expectations. My voice is gone, I'm shattered and I'm so happy.

Question about standing tickets
Going to see them in glasgow, and was wondering if they have a wristband system for standing tickets as I’ve been to a concert before where you could queue early (e.g 7am) and the band’s security would give you a wristband so you could leave and come back to your spot when doors would be opening. Do they do this at all?

Kasabian Album Survivor - Happenings (RESULT!)
The crown for the sub's Happenings survivor? I can give you that. You don't love Italian Horror. Oh your love for DARKEST LULLABY tears you apart.
SERGE SEZ ABOUT COMING DARKEST LULLABY:
"It's just a heartbreaker. That was one of the rare occasions where I was early morning in the kitchen, pick up the guitar, play the chords, everything just falls into place. I sang it as it was going down, lyrics came... 15 minutes, the song is finished. Get it in the Sergery and start thinking about production and those bands I mentioned [Vanilla Fudge, Babe Ruth]. That was one of the really traditional ways of writing a song. Old school, guitar, and it just happens right in front of you, falls into place. Magic. You wish that would. happen every time. Rare occasions. There's been a few where that has happened." Serge - Radio X July 2024
SERGE SEZ ABOUT COMING ITALIAN HORROR:
"It's like an Italian Goth girl. We've got an amazing fanbase in Italy and there's always a bunch of goths there. So it'd be nice to dedicate a song to that. So it's just sort of an imagined crazy Italian goth that you want to get to know but you just can't because she's into Italian giallo and she just lives on another plane that you can't get near but you're fascinated by.
It's funny because Dario Argento is the famous giallo director, but his name didn't rhyme so I need a kind of cool director... Sergio Martino which I used because it rhymes really well and sings great is a really obscure guy. Why didn't you use Argento? It didn't rhyme. Plus it's funny he's got the same name as me!
It's actually got a middle 8, which is weird for this album that almost has a Faces thing that happens midway through. Even the way I sing it. I use this real 70s grovel. It's hooky as. I was thinking of Gorillaz... and the way Damon makes these weird pop record but obscure, twist them about." Serge - Radio X July 2024

Kasabian Album Survivor - Happenings (FINAL SHOWDOWN)
Ready or not, Coming Back to Me Good is out in the second round! Wait, what round is this?
VOTE HERE for your least favourite song on Kasabian's eighth LP. We're talking Darkest Lullaby v Italian Horror. Which is worse? You have... time.
SERGE SEZ ABOUT COMING BACK TO ME GOOD:
"It's funny when people hear Coming Back to Me Good and go "oh no they've gone pop" then you hear like How Far Will You Go and it's like "don't worry it's fine, you should know by now".
It's just motown soul sentiment "don't give up it's not too late", I was thinking of those great Empire of the Sun records and even Air. I love that sort of vibe, that summer thing. It was just there. One day I woke up and it was just there. I played it to a few people and they go "that could kind of work on the radio" and that's actually been good for us on the radio. It's great to have tunes that you hear in shops, that's mad. You know you've got a good tune that's worked when you walk out on some mad high street and it's playing. For a band like us it's wild. Trojan horse is what we call it. Get 'in there with songs like that and give 'em madness later on.
[on the 'ready or not' sample] it's us in a room with a load of reverb on it making it sound like an old sort of Beatles sample. Sometimes it's nice, this far down the line... I'm curious man. I can't stand doing the same thing, knocking out the same tune. I want to be in stylistics for a day or an hour. I've done everything else. It's great to just explore what's out there."

How do you reckon kasabian would’ve done if their debut was empire instead?
