Kasabian

Charismatic U.K. indie band's electronica-tinged rock sound influenced by late-1980s acts such as Happy Mondays.

Biography

Kasabian mixed traces of the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, and Primal Scream with DJ Shadow-influenced electronics to take the British press by storm in the early 2000s. Named after Linda Kasabian, Charles Manson's getaway driver turned state witness, Kasabian's self-titled debut reached the Top Five on the U.K's album chart in October 2004. Empire was released two years later and topped the U.K. charts, although it failed to yield as many singles as its predecessor. The band took home its NME Award in 2007 and began work on another album later that same year. ~ David Jeffries
