Biography

Sergio Pizzorno's writing blends electronics and guitar bombast for maximal impact.

Club Foot and Fire soundtracked mid-2000s UK rock's confident peak.

Later albums leaned into dance textures while keeping terrace-ready choruses.

Lossless mixes preserve filter sweeps, kick transient, and vocal double impacts.

Kasabian took shape in Leicester, with Tom Meighan on vocals and Sergio Pizzorno as guitarist and principal songwriter. Their self-titled debut (2004) included Club Foot and L.S.F. Empire (2006) was a number one album.

West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum (2009), Velociraptor! (2011), 48:13 (2014), and For Crying Out Loud (2017) kept them at festival headline level. After Meighan left in 2020, Pizzorno took over as lead vocalist, and The Alchemist’s Euphoria (2022) and Happenings (2024) followed.
