Kasabian @ Earls Court - 19/12/2006

Went to see Kasabian last night, supported by the Fratellis. Absolute nightmare to get there. Trains were full and escalators not working, queues backed up around the corner, just to get remotely close to the platform. For the people that have been to London, you know what I mean. Anyway, finally got to Earls Court and met my Pink comrade, Luke. Went inside, got some overpriced Hotdogs (£3.75 ea) and got ready for Fratellis. They weren't that bad, their two big hits 'Chelsea Dagger and Whistle for the choir' went down well. Pretty decent 6/10. Kasabian blew the roof off, playing most of their hits, which to be fair isn't alot as they are a new band with 2 albums to their name, 'Club Foot, Cutt off and Empire' getting the loudest cheers. 'LSF' was always going to be the last song, it rocked the hardest. I tried to get out a bit early as I wanted to miss the crowds. Walking through the station and having thousands of people sing the last song to any gig, tells you that it was an awesome night. Thoroughly deserves it 8.5/10. Was no where near The Killers in terms of a whole experience. Its a different vibe. The Killers have got 20 catchy tunes. Kasabian have maybe 6. What Kasabian showed last night, is they are a real ROCK band and I think they will go on to be legendary.
