I went to see Kasabian a couple of nights back at the Commodore. Their new album, Empire, is great. It has the kinds of songs that lend themselves to being sung with arms outstretched, backlit by spotlights and dry ice. They put on a really good show to a very enthusiastic crowd with lots of 'na-na-naaa' sing-alongs and shout-outs to the great city of 'Vancoovah'. They have a great video for their new single 'Shoot the Runner' on their website here.
One of the opening bands, Mew from Denmark, was also very good. They reminded me a little of Sigur Ros - very atmospheric and glacial. Singer looked a little like a blonde Tom Hulce in Amadeus. I ended up buying their CD after their set at the show. It's called 'And the Glass Handed Kites'. How's THAT for pretentious? Or maybe something was lost in translation.
