Kaiser Chiefs
Indie Rock / Alternative
Kaiser Chiefs are an English new wave rock band from Leeds, formed early in 1997. They were formed by school friends Nick Hodgson, Simon Rix and Nick Baines. They were later joined by Andrew White and art school graduate Ricky Wilson, who they spotted singing with a Rolling Stones tribute band. Originally they were named Runston Parva, then later, Parva. After reinventing themselves as Kaiser Chiefs in 2003, the band made a strong impact on the British music scene, culminating in winning three BRIT Awards for 'Best Group', 'Best British Rock Act' and 'Best Live Act' in 2006.[1] Their self recorded debut single, Oh My God was released in May 2004 and reached number 66 in the UK singles chart. Its follow-up, I Predict a Riot gained a notable 22 in the chart in Nov 2004, despite being a virtually unknown band. The majority of people are unaware that these songs were released prior to the succesful re-issue of Oh My God in 2005. The band also re-issued I Predict a Riot after the increased exposure Oh My God and Everyday I Love You Less and Less brought them.
