Guitarist Says the Kasabian Singer Can Act


Kasabian has previously turned down a role as a count in the Sofia Coppola directed 'Marie Antoinette' because of his commitments to the group - will one day amaze everyone with his on-screen prowess, claims his bandmate Serge Pizzorno. The group's guitarist, Serge Pizzorno, reckons Tom will one day surprise everyone with his acting ability, though to date he has only been offered one film role, which he had to turn down to concentrate on the group.

In 'Marie Antoinette' of Tom's proposed role, Serge said: "It is quite true, they wanted him to the play role. It was pretty mental. I think we'll definitely look Tom in something one day.

"He's the sort of person who'll win an Oscar one day and you'll be like, 'What?' He's great at that stuff."

Tom have put to his film career off for a time yet, however, as he currently said that he thinks Kasabian are about hip hop and will be around for some time to come. He said: "The best thing about our band and we get to make a fourth album, and I think the fourth album will be our hit, and I think we'll be around for another ten or fifteen, years, we'll be around for a while."

Kasabian: Kasabian Net Premier League deal


A new footie deal KASABIAN have landed which will make them Britain's biggest musical export.
In the world it will soon be impossible to avoid them anywhere after Barclays Premier League paid a fortune to use their massive track Fire in the title sequences whenever matches are shown abroad.
Next three years broadcasters in around 200 countries will legally have to use the song when they show live games.
Kasabian's record label, Sony, the band's third album are hoping it will give, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, a huge new boost all around the globe.
Considering live matches get up to one billion viewers that shouldn't be a problem.
The Leicester lads are now the first port of call when it comes to football and music.
Singer TOM MEIGHAN launched Umbro's England World Cup kit in Paris before the tournament. And their music is always used on TV, especially Match Of The Day and Sky Sports.
Paul Molnar from the Premier League said: "If we had just wanted a track, there are thousands of those that they could have used.
"But Kasabian are seen as a football band and that makes the use of the track so much stronger." Oosh.
