Kasabian at Popscene.....gratis!!

Pontiac commercials aside, I think Kasabian is one of the better new bands to come around in a while. Yes, they're a bit contrived and their lead singer needs a good kick to the nuts, but the music is undeniably catchy and danceable.

They played Slim's back in March and tore the place down, so I'm looking forward to seeing them at another club show (they're also opening for Oasis and playing BFD this summer; both shows are at Shoreline).

Kasabian plays Popscene (330 Ritch Street - off Townsend between 3rd and 4th) on June 9, and they've recently announced that the show will be FREE. This, of course, means that there will be an ungodly swarm of people lined up outside for hours vying for the 300 some tickets. I'd rather pay $20 and not have to deal with that crap, but I may do it anyway. The Slim's show was that good.
