KASABIAN at the SECC Glasgow



Kasabian were highly recommended by some i know to like Green Day , im really glad i took their advice and saw a unique show of all the majesty a modern band should be given the heritage of earlier classic and progressive bands.

I deliberately did not listen to any of their songs or watch videos of them prior to the concert.One relative who did said they appear to have no rhythmn , no beat , no structure to their songs.Information which endured me to them even more.

The band themselves have members of all of the ages of rock , the lead singer looks like an teddy boy , the co-lead vocalist and guitarist goes for the Aerosmith rock-god look , the brilliant bassist has the minimalist moody bastart arrogant casualness , the guitarist does his business with the instrument talking , the drummer looks like a session hired musician and they even had a poor forlorn looking guy with a trumpet who stood around like someone with all the enthusiasm and vibrancy of someone dragged of the street and put on community service.

But when they played it was electric; intense and fantastic.

The best way to describe Kasabian is quality rapping with a thundering technotronic beat and a solid rock foundation.

A good concert is like going to church should be like , an uplifting and wondrous spiritual experience that stay with you for a very long time , on this basis the concert was the best sermon ive had for a very long time.

Here is a song of theirs called Rewired:




The song below encapsulates just about everything about the bands diverse sounds.

Days Are Forgotten:



And below is a sensational powerhouse packet of devastating energy:
