Kasabian warned by police during New York rooftop gig

Kasabian were warned by police to keep the noise down during a gig in New York City earlier this week.

The band played a rooftop concert on top of the Skylight West skyscraper on Monday night to celebrate the 40th birthday of designer fashion label Mulberry.

However, the rock five-piece were warned by police on two occasions to keep the noise level down "or else", reports The Sun.

Guitarist Serge Pizzorno explained: "The police came up twice to tell us to turn it down. The second time they didn't look so happy. I think the owner turned it up."

Frontman Tom Meighan added: "NYPD at a Kasabian gig? It was a first for us.

"We played the Ghostbusters theme before we came on. Our hotel is just around the corner from where they had their HQ with the fireman's pole. It was pretty big."

Kasabian will release their fourth studio album Velociraptor! on September 19.
