[Watch] Kasabian - "Man of Simple Pleasures" (Official Video)
Kasabian have released their new visual for the track "Man of Simple Pleasures" in which a masked youth rides his BMX in a vast amount of changing tee shirts all of which contain the words of the song. Kind of like a moving lyric video. Note the baseball bat on his back too, he just wants to knock a few ball out of the park. It's the simple things, you know?
"Man Of Simple Pleasures" is released on May 6th.
[Watch] Kasabian - "Days Are Forgotten" Live on Kimmel

The band will headline the main stage one evening at Reading & Leeds Festival with other slots across Europe also scheduled. Dates can be seen over on their official site.
[Watch] Kasabian - "Days Are Forgotten" Live From Terminal 5
Kasabian in the UK are a force to be reckoned with. They headline festivals on a yearly basis and tour relentlessly to hoards of adoring fans. I wasn't sure how much the US fancied them as a live band, or a band full stop to be honest. This video goes some what to show the reaction the band are getting on their current North American tour though. Filmed during the band's show at New York's Terminal 5, the band give a fast paced, energetic performance of the Velociraptor! featuring track, "Days Are Forgotten". Check it out at the top of the page and see their other tour dates after the jump.

[Watch] Kasabian Cover The Beatles "I'm So Tired" On Triple J's Like A Version
Well this cover comes naturally I'm sure. Kasabian wore their love for the Beatles firmly on their sleeves with the release of their new album Velociraptor! Fittingly, today, courtesy of the good folk at Triple J we get to hear the love for the Liverpudlians fully come to a head in this short but sweet session. Serge and Tom take on the White Album's "I'm So Tired" accompanied by a few acoustic guitars and some tired looking eyes. The boys do a more than nice job though so check it out at the top.
In case you missed it earlier in the week too Kasabian covered Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" on Radio One. That was pretty dope too. Two for two from the Leicester boys.
