Pickle me 'ead

Some say Oasis and The Stone Roses created Britpop. Some say they destroyed it. The brothers Gallagher and Ian Brown became legends given their infamous behavior and their unwillingness to remain mainstream in the eyes of their fans. They were irreverent and broke the mold from all accounts for the new generation of rockers to come. In comes Kasabian, the new lads on the block. Guitarist/singer Sergio Pizzorno and singer Tom Meighan have already been touted as the new team Gallagher and the ones to fear. My special friend and I caught their act this week at a local cabaret club, this being the second time they've performed at this venue. They played to a crowd that were obviously die hard fans and thankfully, they delivered the goods well beyond anyone's expectations. Tom definitely knows how to ignite a crowd and engage them in such a way that you instantly feel a strong connection. This band clearly loves all who support them. This is one of the first times ever we have heard a show that sounded better live than it does on the cd. As my special friend put it, it makes the recorded versions sound boring.
