Biography

The British ensemble Kasabian is a standout rock band from Leicester named after Linda Kasabian. This lady was a getaway driver who assisted the notorious Charles Manson and later stood forward as the key prosecution witness. The original lineup of the group included Sergio Pizzorno, Tom Meghan, Chris Edwards and Christopher Karloff and Ash Hannis. The latter left the band before they prepared their debut release. Tom, Sergio and Chris were long time friends united by the dream to make music together. It came true after they met Christopher at one of the pubs. The four recruited the drummer, Hannis, and created a band. Karloff suggested it should be named Kasabian simply because the title sounded euphonic to him. They rented a storehouse in the outskirts of Leicester and started their practicing. The young musicians preferred to follow the music that they learned from their parents. Among the rhythms, patters and intonations once could recognize the traces of The Doors, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles. Kasabian drew the attention of sound recording industry after their demo track Processed Beats became a long time favorite at many British clubs.
