Not long after the Leicester lads put the finishing touches on their first North American tour in nearly six years, albeit brief, the band dropped a bizarre video for the track “Stevie.”
The States continue to be a tough nut to crack for KASABIAN, one of the biggest acts currently in the U.K. Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno recently said that he can’t figure out why the States continue to “play hard to get,” however he holds the band’s former label (Sony) responsible for the lack of North American exposure. Amazingly, here’s a band that plays to a crowd of 100,000 people in their hometown of Leicester and headlined one of the night’s at this years Glastonbury Festival, that can’t sell-out the 800 person House Of Blues venue in San Diego.
The band’s fifth studio album “48:13” was released domestically a few weeks back and is in heavy rotation in my six-disc changer. As far as the band’s lack of U.S. success, that’s just fine with me; more room for me down front. Funny how after 10 years and 5 albums, KASABIAN continues to be our little secret.
