Kasabian Download played a cover of Bugsy Malone song 'We Could Have Been Anything That We Wanted To Be' at a party near Coachella festival last night (April 13).
The band made a special appearance at Mulberry's Firepit party at The Parker Hotel in Palm Springs ahead of their performance at the Californian festival tomorrow.
The song, which featured in the 1976 musical film, was the finale to Kasabian's short acoustic set of greatest hits, that included 'Days Are Forgotten', 'LSF', 'Fire' and 'Man Of Simple Pleasures'. The latter was dedicated to Freddie Cowan from The Vaccines, who was watching in the audience.

Honest to god, I probably watch it [Bugsy Malone] twice a year. It's just one of those amazing films. I remember getting funny feelings when I was a kid about Tallulah. I was probably about five years old when I saw it, but it was one of those moments y'know.
