Kasabian drummer, Ian Matthews was watching Radio Riots at their gig in the Anchor Pub, Frankwell last night. Any attempt to remain undercover was out of the window before he'd even got through the door, having been spotted by the only Kasabian T shirt wearing Riots fan in the pub. Doubt had spread round the mosh area, but was quickly dispelled when Ian joined the Radio Riots and fans outside during the break.
Ian had fallen and broken his hand while on tour with Kasabian in Milan. He had taken the opportunity to have a night out in rocking Shrewsbury, checking out Radio Riots as possible support for the future.
Congratulations were offered for the Kasabian win at the Brits. Shockingly, Ian and the band had not been put out by the close proximity of the JLS table at Earls Court, who he believed to be hard working lads who fulfilled a particular role in the rich tapestry of British Music. An open minded, eclectic approach to music was advocated. But we still prefer Kasabian...Cant see the Riots covering "Beat Again" any time soon.
All in all another good night for Radio Riots.
