Once started under the name Saracuse, this band made up of alternative rockers from English Leicester changed its name pretty soon to Kasabian, a reference to Linda Kasabian, driver of the getaway car of Charles Manson and as such a prominent member of his gang of robbers and murderers.

Fun fact: Kasabian is a common, originally Turkish surname in Armenia. The tribe, Kasap, means as much as butcher. Mmm.
Active: 1999-present, GBR
