Jay Mehler joined as touring lead guitarist in 2006, leaving for Liam Gallagher's Beady Eye in 2013, to be replaced by Tim Carter, who later became a full-time band member in 2021.

[14] Saracuse had several tracks included on a triple CD album called RED which was produced by Bedrock Studios and showcased Leicester bands in late 1999.

They were also invited to take part in the event of the same name at Leicester De Montfort Hall later the same year but declined following the advice of their then-manager Allan Royland.

Sam Young had been working at Concept Music, a small independent label, when the band's manager left the Saracuse demo on his desk.

Their eponymous debut album was released in the UK on 13 September 2004, receiving good sales and generally positive reviews.

While recording in Bristol, the band met Ian Matthews, who plays on "Processed Beats", "Butcher Blues", "Beneficial Herbs" and possibly some other songs on the debut album and B-sides.

On 5 March 2009, it was revealed that the album title would be West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, with a release date of 8 June 2009.

West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum was shortlisted for the 2009 Mercury Prize and named "Best Album" at the 2009 Q Awards.

Two tracks from the album ("Velociraptor" and "Switchblade Smiles") were premièred throughout the four-date warm-up tour including playing at the Leeds O2 Academy before the RockNess and Isle of Wight festivals in June 2011.

On 27 November 2011, Kasabian performed "Goodbye Kiss" during the BBC's Formula 1 2011 closing season montage.

On 31 December 2011, Kasabian played a New Year's Eve concert entitled NYE:Rewired at the O2 Arena, London.

[27] It was announced on 16 May on the Kasabian website that their show of 15 December 2011, that was filmed at the O2 in London, would be screened in over 60 cinemas in the UK and Ireland on 30 May 2012.

At the end of the set, Tom Meighan returned to the stage without the band and performed the Beatles "She Loves You" unaccompanied, something that he had also done three days earlier in Athens, Greece, and on 16 June in Denmark at the NorthSide Festival.

[31] Tim Carter joined Kasabian as a touring guitarist, first performing with the band on 6 March 2013 at Russell Brand's Give It Up for Comic Relief, comedy and music gig at Wembley Arena.

[32] Carter is a music engineering producer and assistant to Dan the Automator, who co-produced West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum and Velociraptor!.

[33] Following a handful of gigs and festival performances throughout the year, Kasabian posted a teaser video in November 2013, announcing that they had been working on new material for the previous six months.

[35] They also announced that they would be playing a homecoming gig in Victoria Park, Leicester to 60,000 people in June 2014, around the ten year anniversary of their debut album.

The show also featured two cover versions – "Crazy", originally recorded by Gnarls Barkley, and "Praise You" by Fatboy Slim, which has been used as an intro to their song "L.S.F.".

[46] Numerous inspirations for the sixth album also have been listed, including Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie and Claudio Ranieri.

In December 2016, the group were rumoured to be playing Reading and Leeds Festival the following year, but insisted that "the band are currently finishing their new album".

[49] In a January 2017 interview with NME, Pizzorno revealed that the upcoming album would contain a track called "Bless This Acid House", which, in his opinion, is one of the best songs he has written.

[53] The band embarked on a world tour in support, that included performances at the Reading and Leeds Festivals and headlining TRNSMT in Glasgow.

[55] Following Meighan's sacking, remaining band founders Pizzorno and Chris Edwards met to discuss Kasabian's future.

[58] The new-look Kasabian made its debut in Glasgow on 13 October, with the band now joined by Robert Harvey of the Music as a multi-instrumentalist and backing vocalist.

The Alchemist's Euphoria topped the UK Albums Chart, and despite polarising fan reception, it was generally praised by critics.

Commenting on the song, frontman Pizzorno said "robots can't experience emotion and being in the moment, whereas humans can, and that is the beauty that separates us".

[62] In December 2023, Kasabian announced a homecoming show at Victoria Park in Leicester, titled Summer Solstice II in July 2024.

In an interview with Rolling Stone discussing their upcoming album, frontman Serge Pizzorno added "thinking about where we are with phone screens, us being able to create something that people can be a part of in the real world has got to be a positive.
