Kaiser Chiefs

Kaiser Chiefs, Nine Black Alps at Cambridge Junction, Tue 19 Apr

Review by Anthony Gibbons

Even the Kaiser's road crew are in on the act, one roadie juggles bottles of water, while the sound engineer is seen waving his hands in the air at the mixing desk like he's trying to taxi in a jumbo jet. Ker-azy guys.»

Kaiser Chiefs

Formed:
Early 2003 in Leeds

Influences:
Beach Boys, Super Furry Animals, The Kinks, XTC, Beta Band, Blur, Supergrass, 10CC, Small Faces, Dexys Midnight Runners, Madness (but only the good stuff)

Interesting Facts:
Andrew is an ex-BMX Champion.
Nick and Ricky run an exciting club night in Leeds called Pigs.
Simon, Nick and Nick were all in the same class at school.
The 3 track demo was recorded, mixed and mastered by the band in Nick's flat.

Also we're fed up of the American/ Swedish/ Australian bands that have dominatated for the last two years so we decided to be totally different, basically by listening to loads of the stuff listed above and copying it!»
