Kaiser Chiefs
Kaiser Chiefs are an English rock band from Leeds. Nicknamed KC the group was founded in 1997, and consists of Ricky Wilson (vocals), Andrew 'Whitey' White (guitar), Simon Rix (bass), Nick 'Peanut' Baines (keyboards), and Nick Hodgson (drums). The group's debut album Employment was released in 2004. The album was primarily inspired by new wave and punk rock music of late 1970s, and enjoyed international success with sales of over three million. Kaiser Chiefs' second album Yours Truly, Angry Mob (2007) yielded "Ruby", a number one single in the United Kingdom. The group took inspiration from Led Zepplin and American rock music, and recorded over twenty-two songs. The album received mixed reviews from critics, who found it to be "an album full of jukebox hits" and "predictable". "Ruby", the album's lead single, became Kaiser Chiefs' first UK number one single. "Everything Is Average Nowadays" was released as the album's second single, and reached number nineteen in the UK. The album's third single "The Angry Mob", described by the The Sun as a "clever, accessible pop" song, peaked at number twenty-two in the UK. The Kaiser Chiefs recently scrapped most of their fall U.S. tour and said that they are anxious to begin recording their third full length next month. (Source: www.wikipedia.org)
