Its the first day of V in Festival 2004. Its the first band of the day and Kasabian walk out on to the NME stage receiving a rapturous applause.
Last nights rain has gone and it seems that the crowds spirits are high as Kasabian head through their set of hits putting their latest single LSF towards the end of the set. With a front-man that dances around in a slightly crazed way (arms flailing everywhere) you realise that Kasabian are a band that actually enjoy playing.
As the short, twenty-five minute, set comes to a close with Club Foot the crowd cheer and suddenly vanish leaving the stage empty for the next band.
Not everyone is designed to play at a festival but one things for sure Kasabian deserve to be here. They have yet to even release their debut album (due in September) and theyve gone from total unknowns to one of the freshest kings of indie.
Only one question remains. What will 2005 hold for the band?
