Kasabian's Ian Matthews To Host Exclusive ICMP Masterclass

October 02, 2008

Incredible Kasabian drummer Ian Matthews will be taking time out from completing his latest album to deliver an exclusive Institute masterclass — an event where pure raw talent meets a passion for music!

Ian's diverse musical background began from the age of four, spanning from Jazz to orchestral music, noted to be one of the reasons it was so easy for him to step into the music world of British rockers Kasabian. After forming in 1999, by 2000 they had already taken Britain by storm with their infectious blend of Primal Scream-Stone Roses-Oasis-injected music. Their eponymous 2004 debut shifted 700,000 copies in the UK alone and their success since then has simply rocketed.

With a unique confidence and vocal style synonymous with the bands of the 'Madchester' scene, Kasabian have gone on to win awards nothing short of NME's Best Live Act award and are currently putting the finishing touches to their much anticipated third album, due for release by the end of this year (fingers crossed!). So the chance to get up close and personal with Ian at this exclusive event is an opportunity not to be missed! If you never associated passion and dynamism with the average indie rock musician, then think again, as the Ian Matthews masterclass promises to deliver just that.

Attend this unmissable event on Thursday 23rd Oct from 7-9pm.
