Kasabian Set To Play Baftas Following BRIT Awards Snub

They might have been ignored in the nominations for The BRIT Awards this year, but Kasabian won't be sobbing into their beer on the sofa for the whole of awards season.

Instead the anthemic rockers will be opening the show at Britain's biggest annual movie awards - the Baftas - having been "poached" by the organisers.

Guitarist Serge Pizzorno told The Sun: "It's a huge honour to open the Baftas because we're all such great film fans. It'll be a strange old show playing in front of a load of penguins but it's going to be great.

"We're going to start the night off with a huge explosion. We're going to play everything twice as loud. Half the people there won't have a clue what is going on."

And he's clearly still a bit sore at the band being snubbed by the BRITs after a year in which they had headlined the Glastonbury Festival and topped the charts.

"It's a conspiracy," he fumed. "They're trying to shut rock 'n' roll out of it. What sort of message does that send to working class rock 'n' roll bands, which the industry is in dire need of?

"Kasabian couldn’t have done any more last year. It's bulls**t really."

Baftas show producer Katherine Allen said: "Kasabian are the biggest rock band of the year and they headlined Glasto. What better way to kick off the Baftas with a bang? We wanted something totally different this year."

The band will be following in the footsteps of Sir Tom Jones, Tinie Tempah and Paloma Faith when they open the show at the Royal Opera House in London on 8 February.

Stevie, where you going with that gun
Who you wanna shoot down
Who you trynna kill

You've been watching too much TV
It's playing with your memories
It's tryinna break your heart

Just calm down
Take your medication
It numbs you to the world
Not my world

And all the kids they say
Live to fight another day
Live to fight again

And all the kids they say
Live to fight another day
Live to fight again, again, again, again

There's no life underneath your finger
I dreamt a little bigger
I'm sick and tired of this

If you show us what we can't have
What do you expect when
We take it back from you

'Cause it's no joke, no joke
I wanna open up your eyes wide, eyes wide
I feel it coming but you can't hide, can't hide
I wanna make you see light

And all the kids they say
Live to fight another day
Live to fight again

And all the kids they say
Live to fight another day
Live to fight again, again, again, again

And the ordinary people
Living ordinary lives
There's more than just existence
I see the fire in your eyes
But you knew this all already
It comes as no surprise
It's time to push things forward
'Cause there's no way back
Yeah there's no way back now (Now, now, now, now, now, now)

Live to fight another day
Live to fight again

Live to fight another day
Live to fight again, again, again, again
