Kaiser Chiefs are an indie rock band from Leeds, England. They formed in 2002 and have enjoyed enormous global success since.
The band consists of lead vocalist Ricky Wilson, who has achieved added fame from his stint as a judge on the UK talent show The Voice, guitarist Andrew "Whitey" White, bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick "Peanut" Baines and drummer Vijay Mistry, who replaced founding drummer Nick Hodgson in late 2012.
The band’s big break came along when they performed at the NME Awards tour in 2005, as the opening act. This opportunity allowed the band to start making a name for themselves in the UK. Their first album debuted the same year, entitled ‘Employment’, and reached the number two spot on the UK album chart and was subsequently certified five times platinum. The album was even shortlisted for a Mercury prize, but narrowly missed out on the prestigious award.
Since this encouraging start, the band has fast become one of the most successful UK indie rock bands today. Their most notable hits include ‘I Predict a Riot’, ‘Every day I love you Less and Less’ (both from their debut album) and smash hit ‘Ruby’ from their second album, amongst many others. Their second album, ‘Yours Truly, Angry Mob’ topped the success of their first, reaching the number one spot on the UK albums chart and the album’s lead single ‘Ruby’ became their first ever UK number one single.
In terms of music style, the band can best be described as indie rock with elements of new-wave and post-punk revival. Other similar artists include Coldplay and Franz Ferdinand. Although the band have not quite reached the pinnacle of success surmounted by Coldplay, they have nonetheless well and truly cemented themselves in UK band history. With over one million singles sold worldwide, Kaiser Chiefs are arguably the biggest band to have emerged from Leeds, having won many prestigious awards including Brits and NME awards.
Read moreI know what you are thinking. You are sitting on your couch. And wondering if you should go to the Kaiser Chiefs's concert. The main reason of your hesitation ? You are afraid to see another show just like any other. Let me tell you : KAISER CHIEFS is nothing like any other band. Despite their fame and their many hits, they stayed the same. They grew obviously on stage. They got better. They got way better that you could ever imagine. They fly along the tide of the ocean. They are my favorite band of the last decade. Why? Because they are still close to their public. They respect us. We are not just numbers giving money away. We want to see them and they want to see us rock the venue. And so as a gift they keep rocking the stage until the lights go out. My piece of advice ? Go see kaiser chiefs anytime they are in town. Their lyrics are profound and full of meanings. Their show is full and they act on the stage. You will never be able to say they don't give 200% of themselves. If I had to describe them I would say that they are the modern gladiators of Music. Go see them !
Totally amazing night last night at the BIC. Started off in brilliant style by the fab up and coming band howl sounds who used to be known as ngod. After a short break Spring Kings came on with their distinctive rocking sound.
Then came the big moment. At the front of the stage was a giant black curtain. The start of stay together played out and the curtain fell down to reveal the band in a shower of confetti and glitter.
The stage then got pushed back and the kaisers were in full flow. They blended new and old songs in a fab set. As usual Ricky wilson was energetic and at one point appeared at the back for the song Meanwhile up in heaven - as a giant glitterball spun around looking like he was surrounded by a million stars.
Back on stage the band rounded things up by taking us back to the 70s with Never falling in love. The band have never sounded better - vj amazing on drums, whitey on guitar was spellbinding as was simon on bass then everyones favourite keyboardest peanut i think everyone was sad when they finished with OMG. All in all a fabulous night.
I've actually seen Kaiser Chiefs a few times in concert and each time I appreciate this group more and more. Kaiser Chiefs have always been one of my favorite bands so whenever I hear that they are playing at a venue I try to go see them.
Whenever they sing "Never Miss A Beat" the crowd goes wild, that song just about being lazy and not doing a darn thing – and you know what, we love it!
Kaiser Chiefs are everything that is good about indie rock, good beats, smooth rhythm, and of course, rocking out. When they play "Pinball Wizard", Peanut goes crazy on the keyboard, I give him mad props for his skills. The crowd goes wild anytime they play that song, and when you see them in concert you will know why. There were people in the audience clapping, rocking their heads back and forth, and stripping off their shirts.
Now I have to give it up to Ricky for those vocals, and when the band performs I Predict a Riot, you better watch out because it gets crazy (but crazy in a good way). I hope to catch another one of their shows real soon.
Thanks to Banquet Records I was blessed to get a ticket to an early, all ages short set at The Hippodrome in Kingston-upon-Thames as part of the Kaiser Chief's album launch. Cool, relaxed venue with decent sound and I had a great view from one of the balconies. Despite it being a short set we got the full light show and the band didn't seem to hold anything back
With the Kaiser Chiefs live performance is where it's at for me and they achieved just the right balance of new tracks from the album Stay Together and the classics that everyone loves to hear. Parachute and Hole In My Soul from the new album really came to life hearing them live. Ruby, Every Day I Love You Less & Less and I Predict A Riot were an absolute delight and set the whole crowd bouncing.
If you are finding the production on Stay Together just a little bit tame, get out an hear it live. You won't be disappointed so wear your bouncing shoes ;-)
Having seen Kaiser Chiefs on 2 other occasions, they did not disappoint yet again, previously at this venue too (Winter Gardens, Margate).
They played a variety of their hits from over the years and also a sneak preview of what is to come (later this year). Songs included Never Miss A Beat, Parachute, Cannons and Ruby.
For such a small venue, Ricky Wilson and co certainly know how to get the crowd going, although that is really not hard to do.
Kaiser Chiefs were on stage for approximately 1 hour 45 minutes and was well worth it.
I'm looking forward to seeing them again LIVE(hopefully soon)
This was possibly the best concert I've ever been to.
The smaller venue made it so much more personal than bigger venues.
The spot on view of the guys no matter where you were sat was great.
The Kaiser Chiefs performance was epic, from older to brand new songs with plenty of crowd pleasing hits.
Thoroughly enjoyed the show and have even thought about looking for last minute tickets to another gig before the tour is over.
Just to top it off we got to meet Ricky, Simon & Vijay and got photos and autographs.
Made it even more special, can't thank the guys enough
An absolutely brilliant performance from Ricky and the Band ar the Armed Forces Day Event on 29th July 2019 on what was the hottest day of the year.
Thousand of folk patiently waited throughout the day in sweltering temperatures for The Kaiser Chiefs they definitely didn't disappoint, one young lad got plucked from the front to perform on stage with Ricky and came away with his tambourine, he face was of pure surprise and joy. the crowd went wild, and one very happy young boy who will remember this event for the rest of his life.
Not the best of views. For stage or screen. Music fab Ricky mad as a hatter real showmanship. Love the kaiser chiefs. First time I have been able to get to see my favourite band. Went Howell brill too. Not so much the other group. So good I've forgot there names overnight. It's a must see tour. If you ain't got tickets then that's your hardship. A must see. One very happy fan. Never been to leeds impressed with city night life too. So been a great trip
Incredible show, full of energy, lights and smoke. A great set list that included all the classics from the old angry mob Kaisers to the modern, more mainstream KC. Ricky's enthusiasm and passion was endless, at times it was hard to follow where he was performing next as he stalked the pit playing to the cameras, moved through the floor to play from the back of the crowd and climbed scaffolding!
A great great night, shame if you missed it!
I thought the whole evening was very well organised.Good security check on entry.The kaiser chiefs start was very good,then moved down to the main stage,really good visually to watch.Large screen very good,effects very good and audience participation really good.Sound quality very good not over powering as I’m sixty years old.All in all an excellent night of entertainment well done Kaiser chiefs and Bournemouth international centre.
