Kasabian tend to divide opinion of those with fully operational hearing capabilities. The flimsy and floppy haired indie kids hate them because they remind them of the scary lads down the pub who stand by the bandit and drink pints of cider with Blue WKD chasers. The scary lads down the pub like them because they’re not pretentious indie kids, and they’re a good alternative to Oasis who, and lets be fair, took their eye off the ball years ago.
Regardless of what camp you’re in, you’ve got to give Kasabian their props for their video for ‘Vlad The Impaler’. Directed by the super talented Richard Ayoade (of the Warp Films stable), we get Noel Fielding charging around the moors, driving a huge iron spike through the sternums of various unsuspecting damsels and dudes. It’s dark, it’s camp, there’s blood, hot chicks and a fine moustache. It’s so awesome that I’ve seen it about 20 times without ever paying any intention to the song in the background. Anybody know if it’s any good?
