EXCLUSIVE: Kasabian Tell Us About Their New 'Thriller' Inspired Music Vid With Noel Fielding

Just hours after sharing exclusive behind-the-scene footage from their upcoming music video, Kasabian have given us some details about just what exactly their fans are in for.

From what we gather watching the footage (which we presume is for new single You’re In Love With A Psycho), the clip sees the guys involved in choreographed dance… while wearing hospital gowns… in a gymnasium. Yeah. 

Oh, and it also features UK comics Noel Fielding and Stephen Graham.

Speaking exclusively to The Music in Australia on Tuesday as they gear up for two shows at the Sydney Opera House this week, Kasabian guitarist Sergio "Serge" Pizzorno said the film clip is an homage to classic 1933 Marx Brothers film, Duck Soup, and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest — and yes, there is a lot of dancing. 

"Yeah, we wanted to sort of, you know, like the Thriller was in there as well and then the end of Slumdog Millionaire was definitely in there," Pizzorno said.

"It's so hard 'cause the rhythm…  it's obviously adapted to sort of, you know, a pop rhythm, which is the song, but no, it was good.

"What I loved – it felt like how videos used to be made? Like, there's somethin' amazin' about this sort of celebration of dance and us being a part of it; it was great to make 'cause it was, you know. sort of ridiculous, but in like that beautiful way where you're just like, 'What a life we lead! What a straaaange old life we lead!'"

While Fielding and Graham feature in the clip as they both are friends of the Leicester rockers, Pizzorno said fans should keep an eye out for more big cameos. 

"Yeah, there's a few, if you look closely, there's a few of our pals and any avid fan'll pick them out, yeah. It was great…

"And we're really excited about the song so it was nice to sort of have those cameos in it and it's just, you know, people that we really respect and they're so brilliant."

Punters heading to the Opera House shows may even get a chance to see the lads perform the dance on stage… if they are lucky. 

"It was talked about over a few beers, yeah, but no, probably not," Pizzorno laughed.

"Maybe, though. Who knows? It depends what sort of night we have."
