Kasabian are an English rock band from Blaby and Countesthorpe, near Leicester, formed by Tom Meighan (vocals), Sergio Pizzorno (guitar and vocals), Chris Edwards (bass) and Chris Karloff (guitar and keyboards), who met while attending Leysland High School and Countesthorpe Community College.
The band is named after Linda Kasabian, a member of the Charles Manson cult (aka the Manson "family"). The name Kasabian is an Armenian family surname. In an interview with Ukula, bassist Chris Edwards explained how the former guitarist Chris Karloff picked the name. Reading up on Charles Manson, the Kasabian name stuck with Karloff. "He just thought the word was cool, it literally took about a minute after the rest of us heard it…so it was decided,” says Edwards.
