Leeds-based pop-rockers Kaiser Chiefs are to release a DVD just in time for Christmas.
Based, albeit loosely, on the band's history, Enjoyment will hit shelves in late November. It'll run to some 90 minutes and feature narration from Bill Nighy, soon to be seen in the next Pirates of the Caribbean romp.
The DVD will include footage from shows the world over, and video clips from when the band first started, under the name Parva.
DiScuss: Are the Kaisers wise to cash in on their popularity now? Reckon they've staying power, or is Employment likely to be their sole success?

As much as I hate to say it, coz the Kaisers (Despite the facades of some fashionistas on this website, etc...) are actually decent-but they are gonna follow the Franz Ferdinand route.They'll probably always be popular and maintain a certain level of success, but will lose a lot of respect from the more underground rock and indie communities because of it. They arent exactly cashing in on their popularity either-most bands bring DVD's out.

They're absolutely right to cash on their popularity.
Things change fast and they might not be big for too long.
'Employment' is a good record but i don't see the necessity for a DVD so soon...

what a waste of money.
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
If I was in a band called Parva I think I'd change the name too. It's hardly crime of the century, is it? It's not as if Ricky Wilson is an ethnic cleanser or anything reeeeeally bad like that.

I just hope that this band are not the template that lazy a&r use when it comes to choosing bands over the next few years - please tell me it wont happen, please please
if it weren't for Art Brut I think the last two years would have been like sharing a house with jimmy Carr - actually sorry, sharing a car with Jimmy Carr - that is a far worse analogy

Kaiser Chiefs are a one album wonder. But alright.
Art-Brut are a one hit wonder. And apart from Formed a Band, they suck. Arse. The fact that people treat them like darlings of the underground scene makes me feel sick. Sorry, digressing...

What about that one where he runs head-first at the Matisse in the Pompidou? That one's pretty good.
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
The_Glory is back. Huraaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
i only hope and pray the kaisers are a one album wonder...

It's their choice innit?
In terms of a long-term career I'm not convinced. They've realised some great singles and they're a good pop band (I mean that as a compliment; there's not enough pop bands around!) but I can't really see them doing anything new or different next time round so I suspect time will move on around them and they'll stop selling records (a la Strokes)

Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
Hmm...saw the Duels. Din't like them but didn't think they sounded like kaisers either. Really didn't hear that at all.
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
If their whole stitch works better live, then don't let them release an album! They really really really really are shite to the nth degree.

HOLD THE PHONE!
Bill Nighy is in the next Pirates Of The Carribean film? ACE! Bill Nighy is great!

Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
Well, Blur changed their name to get signed, and Bloc Party used to be Luno, and the Stone Roses were a goth band for about 45 years- maybe Parva just decided to stop what they were doing cos what they were doing is wrong...
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
No it's not
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
Yes it is !
But bill Nighy is great.

yes they are.
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
He's gonna be Davy Jones... maybe not in the very next one, but certainly in the third PotC flick.

Strange how no-one has asked me anything about them for this. Woulda thought their first single would be of interest in the story of the band. Hopefully it'll get mentioned.
Chiefs ready festive DVD
I like the Kaiser Chiefs. They're quite cheerful aren't they? "I predict a riot - do-de do-de do-dee"
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
Yes they are. (yey! got my pattern back!)
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
Emily Kane is definitely one of the single of the year !
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
I bet there will be NME journos explaining that THEY discover the band...
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
That's true enough- It's like saying a football fan's gotta buy every new shirt and go to every match to prove they're hardcore! Only in this case, much less pies, bic razors and chanting...unless it's a Goldie Lookin' Chain gig I guess.
Chiefs ready festive DVD
Its just a dvd... and i reckon playing in bands since your formative years is enough 'man and boy' service, for a retrospective. I sure do hope i stay shit, so as to avoid the lash of the snot nosed success police.
Chiefs ready festive DVD
Really didn't like them when they did the album.
Now, I've grown to like their record. Amazing.

A shame half of the songs on 'Employment' aren't that good...

Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
i don't hear the similarity either (ditto The Automatic, who the sound nothing like whatsoever), but they're still one of those bands who recently changed name and musical direction...
in fact, Kaisers first gig as Kaiser Chiefs was supporting Sammyusa - who're now Duels.
innit.

Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
one hit wonder my arse.
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
But that was a Blur album.
Oh wait. I see what you've done there.

Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
well to be fair, they'd already been in the NME before we dragged them down to London.

Don't really see the cynicism surrounding this DVD. Remember they were plugging away for years as Parva before hitting the big time. It's almost like some kind of fairy tale. And quite frankly I don't care if they milk it now for all it's worth. Hopefully it won't suck.
Having said that, I won't be buying it. But only cos I don't buy music DVDs. Cos I can't be arsed.

Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
they'd already played a stadium too hadn't they?
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
they'd supported sammyusa and franz ferdinand (this was before the franz were massive). gig #3 was the one gareth and i did in london village with bloc party :o)
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
Yeah, even though it's brilliant when u look at how many CD's you've got and everything, It's still fucking expensive to keep up with stuff-DVD's are just there for when you cant think of anything else to jam onto ur christmas list. Milk It!
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
i was talking elland road at halftime for leeds during relegation season but anyway
Re: Chiefs ready festive DVD
i don't think they ever did that in the end.
