Kasabian – Vlad the Impaler from Kasabian on Vimeo.As reported the other day, Kasabian have released a free MP3 of Vlad The Impaler, the lead-off single from the band's new album, accompanied by a video featuring Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding. It's embedded above.We were wondering how the band would get around the current UK YouTube ban on music videos, but the answer appears to be use Vimeo instead. You can download the MP3 from the band's website, where tickets for their upcoming tour will go on pre-sale tomorrow (Wednesday). It's a neatly tied-in promo campaign.Here's the weird thing, though: we were sure the site said earlier that the download wouldn't be made available until it had been played on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show later tonight – yet the site is now allowing it to be downloaded, and we received an email from the band's official mailing list with the link. Maybe it leaked, and they released it early?
