Kasbian want to Dominate the world


The British rockers, whose third album West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum is up for the Barclaycard Mercury Prize, will have their schedules filled with shows for the rest of the year.

"Well, we've got a tour in November, an arena tour in November and we're going around the world 15 times before then and then maybe, hopefully try and get to Saturn at some point because we've not played there yet," lead guitarist Sergio Pizzorno joked.


Tom Meighan hailed the band's Camden Roundhouse gig last night (July 22) as "f***ing emotional" and "amazing".The band were playing the show to an audience filled with competition winners, as part of the iTunes Live festival.Frontman Meighan was visibly awed to see so many of the audience singing along to newer tracks 'Where Did All The Love Go?' and 'Take Aim', clapping them along and showing his appreciation by saying "You're in fine voice Roundhouse!" after the former.Kasabian played a raft of tracks from third album 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum', which was nominated for the Barclaycard Mercury Prize earlier this week (July 21), and although they didn't mention that specifically, the band we're in celebratory mood throughout the gig.

The band were joined by a trumpet player for several songs, including fan favourite 'The Doberman', which saw Meighan jokingly square up to the musician at the end of the track, standing directly opposite him with his arms crossed to show his appreciation.

Kasabian shoot The Runner lyrics

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen

Dream
Dream again in your way
Always knew that you would
Loose yourself to the scene
Am I only a dream

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen, Bitch

Bang
Bang away with my Chang (My Chang)
Always know that I can (I Can)
Get your knee's on the floor
Absinth make you may whore

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen

Shoot the runner
Shoot shoot the runner
I'm a king and she's my queen, Bitch

Kings
Kings may come and then go
By this sword you must know
That all things will come and then pass
Live your days like the last

Kasabian - shoot the runner

Kasabian Biography

An alternative rock band from Leicester, England is a Kasabian. The band contains Tom Meighan (vocals), Sergio Pizzorno (guitar, synths, vocals), Christopher Edwards (bass), Ian Matthews (drums) and touring guitarist Jason Mehler. The group has been evaluated with the likes of Primal Scream, with their similar electronica-indie rock fusion and Oasis, with whom they share their confidence, vision, swagger and rough vocal style.

It has been wonderd that the name “Kasabian” is taken from the getaway driver (named Linda Kasabian) for the Tate murders devoted by the Manson Family.

The band created in 1999 in Leicester, England. Their first album was simply “Kasabian”, and in 2004 inward lacklustre reviews. However, tracks such as Cutt Off and L.S.F (Lost Souls Forever) reached the UK Top 10, and with 2 more Top 20 hits and the album peaking at #4 in the UK Album Chart, they defied the detractord.

The second album, “Empire”, was launched on the 28th of August 2006. The first single from the album, also titled “Empire”, was widely looked upon as a musical success, with its change of beat important of “Take Me Out”, and its catchy chorus. This was then followed by the launch of the single “Shoot The Runner” and most just, “Me Plus One”.

The newest album, “West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum”, was launched on the 5th of June 2009. The hit single off the album “Fire” was one of the Top 5 singles in the UK charts at the time, reaching #3 in the Official UK Singles Chart.
