About the band:
The Lysergic Suite: electro/ psychedelic rock band from Leicester.
They released their highly anticipated debut four track E.P ‘Ghosts On Crusade’ in June and have continued to grow, making people stand up and take notice.
Title track ‘Ghosts on Crusade’ features Tom Meighan (KASABIAN) on vocals, a collaboration that the bands are extremely proud of. Tom asked to sing on the track after being played demo versions of The Lysergic Suite’s self titled debut album. It’s the first time that Tom has worked outside of Kasabian.
Recorded by the band themselves in a studio shared with Kasabian and with two of the tracks co-produced and mixed by Tim Holmes (DEATH IN VEGAS).
‘Earth and Water’ From their 4 track E.P featuring Tom Meighan (Kasabian)

Belakiss – December Sessions @ The O2
We had a chat with the lovely Belakiss on board the British Music Experience bus before their set at the December Sessions at The O2.
Belakiss have just got back from being on tour in Japan with Kasabian and we’re predicting a big year ahead for the band.
Check the video below for the interview and some live footage from their set featuring their track ‘Run Red’.
The December Sessions at The O2 kicked off on December 3rd and finished on December 22nd 2011. Five of the UK’s best emerging bands a night took to a specially constructed stage in London Piazza at The O2.
With a huge potential audience of thousands, December Sessions at The O2 gave these new acts a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play to a huge audience, at London’s most famous entertainment venue.
Four of the twenty nights were managed by Broccoli Events, programming the entertainment, stage managing the event and documenting the event by filming and photographing the live performances and interviewing the bands.

Modern Faces to support Kasabian
Broccoli Events – Bands for Brands
Being known as an events company with a strong music background is great. We get all the latest industry tips on bands that are making waves in the UK music scene.
This is fantastic for brands working with us at Broccoli as we offer them access to cutting edge bands to perform at their events and the kudos that goes with it claiming they had the band that just broke into the big time.
We’ve identified an avenue for brands to tap into the youth market and it’s through this ability to work with breaking bands, connect directly with their fans, creating online content through video and photography which then has the ability to go viral continuing the event/product promotion which is truly invaluable.
This is our latest hot tip…
Modern Faces
Lee Montgomery (Lead Vocal/Guitar)
Michael O’Reilly (Lead Guitar)
James Shields (Keyboards)
Jamie Macfarlane (Bass)
Gary Heaney (Drums/Backing Vocals)
“Our immediate aim is to keep making great music and to play some summer festivals that would be awesome especially if we can get TITP, but looking along the horizon I think we all wanna make that great debut album, one that sits in everyone’s top 50 greatest albums list forever..that’s the bigger ambition”.
Modern Faces are a 5 piece band from Dunfermline, Scotland who take their influences from the 60’s and their attitude & swagger from the 90’s.
They’re Inspired by the likes of The Stone Roses, Oasis & The Verve and their aim is to throw some attitude back into British music and produce a few top-drawer, anthemic, stomping albums along the way!
Since forming they have gathered a massive hometown following and proved this by playing to a 900 strong sell-out crowd at Dunfermline’s Velocity in April of 2010, as well as consistently selling out pj mollys very intimate 350 capacity venue.
They released their EP ‘No Mans Land’ in April of 2010 which attracted the ears of many within the industry.
The band have supported the likes of Shed Seven, Starsailor and playing the Primal Scream after show party in Brixton in March 2011.
“Its just gone crazy, we’ve been asked back to play Liverpool Sound City Festival for a second year running, we’ve got Festival dates popping up all over the country playing with the likes of Mystery Jets, Beardyman, The Rifles, traveling with our own crew, meetings with lawyers all stuff we hadn’t expected so quickly and then a couple of weeks back Gary and i (Monty) took a call outside Beady Eye and it was Tom Meighan on the phone asking if we’d like to support Kasabian on their pre Festival 2011 warm up tour in Sheffield at the 02 Academy on 4th June and in Manchester at the 02 Apollo on 8th June , we were gob smacked and thought it was a complete wind up but its all real and we’re loving it right now so onwards and upwards”.
“Modern Faces remind me of us when we were young, ready and willing to do anything for the thrill of being in a rock n roll band, there highlanders”
Tom Meighan, Kasabian

Kasabian’s Tom Meighan teams up with Leicester band SuperEvolver
SuperEvolver have teamed up with Kasabian front man Tom Meighan to release a charity single ‘Viva la revolution’ . All proceeds go to Harley Staples Cancer Trust and UNICEF’s Pakistan Flood Children’s Appeal.
The band are playing Broccoli Music live event Pull up the Roots 15th December at The Monarch in Camden.
PRESS:
TOM MEIGHAN has teamed up with Leicester band SUPEREVOLVER to record a charity single.
Viva La Revolution, out on November 8, has a very KASABIAN feel.
You can download it from iTunes.

Kasabian’s Tom Meighan is to feature on a new single from fellow Leicester band Superevolver to raise funds for UNICEF’s Pakistan Flood Children’s Appeal and the Harley Staples Cancer Trust.
To date, the flooding in Pakistan has affected over 18 million people, around 9 million of them children. A disaster of unprecedented scale, all five provinces of the country have been affected. UNICEF’s Pakistan Flood Children’s Appeal is raising £90 million to scale up the distribution of clean water, vaccinations and rehydration salts.
The Kasabian frontman has put his unique vocal stamp on Viva La Revolution with Superevolver, joining them in pledging all proceeds from sales to UNICEF and the Harley Staples Cancer Trust, a Leicester charity set up in memory of local eight year old Harley, who lost his battle with cancer last November.
In addition to Tom doing his bit for charity, work on the single must be a welcome distraction from the lack of Kasabian activity at the moment, with the band taking a break to concentrate on family. We reported last month Tom would be working on solo material, could this be a taster for things to come?
Written by Superevolver frontman James Mabbett, Viva La Revolution featuring Tom Meighan will be available to download from iTunes, Amazon, Zune, last.fm, Myspace and Spotify from November 8th through Telescope Records. The download also features a bonus remix from Dan Thomas.

Brits 2010!
So last night I had the privilege to attend The Brits 2010 award ceremony in Earls Court.
The Brits is more like a grown up smash hits polls winners party these days, not exactly flying the flag for British music with most of the awards going to Lady Gaga and X factor runners up!
Saving grace was the incredible Kasabian winning best British group along with a live performance of ‘Fire’, stole the show in my eyes with a great live performance, the event production was incredible.
Once back stage every bugger vanished, must of being gagging for a ciggie or gone off to some private, VIP, wrap party as the place was deserted, did manage to get on stage and have a photo behind the podium though, bonus!
