UK rockers Kasabian took over Terminal 5 in New York Thursday night for a live show and concert webcast.

hennemusic carried the live feed, as the band ripped through a 17-song, 90-minute set featuring material from their four album, including the latest, “Velociraptor!”

Kasabian recently kicked off their North American tour; next week, they play shows in Boston (Tue), Montreal (Wed) and Toronto (Thu).

Stars in their native UK, Kasabian have yet to break through in the States but, as singer Tom Meighan told CraveOnlinea few months ago, “The theory is we haven’t toured America for 4 years, and our record label wouldn’t back us and we’ve parted company with them,” explained Tom. “We’re going to go to a new record label, we’re fresh, we’ve got new ideas, and we’ve got a new team backing us now. Basically we had no backing, that’s why we haven’t been to America for a long time (since 2006).”

"As for lack of appreciation," Meighan continued, “I think we just concentrated on other places in the world and we’ve been really busy, but our favorite place to tour is America. It makes you feel that rock and roll is not dead, and is alive, and we’re coming [in March], which is going to be fabulous. I can’t wait.”
