"We've been overrun by pop"
Kasabian have lamented the lack of decent rock 'n' roll bands on the UK music scene.
Love them or loathe them, Kasabian are difficult to ignore. Announcing a massive Winter tour, the Leicester band polished off the dates with a spectacular one off show at London's enormous O2 Arena.
After such an enormous exertion, you could forgive the band for taking time off. Not a word of it! Kasabian are back out there, and their mouths are moving faster than ever...
Speaking to ContactMusic, the band lamented the loss of true rock 'n' roll bands in British music. Tom Meighan kicked off the interview by saying: "There's a rock 'n' roll drought at the moment, so I'm glad we're here. People are frightened of making records that sound good on the radio."
Bass player Serge Pizzorno interjected: "We've been overrun by pop and I hate that indie attitude. Life's too short to give a f**k."
"I'm not religious, I don't think there's anything after this, so I'm here to have a good time and this is the one chance I've got. So get me the f***ing fur coat and let's crack on. One k***head might go, 'Oh, I don't like that.' But who cares?"
Finishing 2011 with an epic tour, rumours abound of Kasabian's hectic partying. According to the band, though, things have actually calmed down with Pizzorno eager to pursue a more professional lifestyle.
"We're in a rock 'n' roll band, so we're going to party every now and then. But you've got to be good at both. If you have a drink, you can never f**k up. I saw an interview with Jack Nicholson and he was like, 'I had a good time, but I was never late and never missed a job. That's where I get my pride from'."
"I'm down with that. I can't be arsed to be out of it for five days. While you're hungover, I'll be in the studio working, motherf****r. That's how I roll."
What do you think? Is there a rock 'n' roll drought? Did Serge ever get his fur coat?!
