Kaiser Chiefs, Kinda Girl You Are

Kaiser Chiefs are an English band created in 1997, most specifically in Leeds and is composed by Ricky Wilson, Nick Hodgson, Andrew White, Simon Rix and Nick "Peanuts" Baines.

The name comes after a South African football club Kaizer Chiefs - where a football player from their home town.

With 4 released records - Employment (2005), Yours Truly, Angry Mob (2007), Off With Their Heads (2008) and The Future Is Medieval (2011).
The band is known for hits like Everyday I Love You Less And Less, Ruby, I Predict A Riot, Never Miss A Beat and Oh My God.

Future Is Medieval came after the band's long hiatus (since 2008). The band announced that they expected to release a new album in the middle of 2011.
The band decided to create their own label - Chewing Gum Records giving this way more independence to their options and recordings.

On May 30, 2011 Ricky Wilson went to the English radio station BBC Radio 1 to Zane Lowe's show announcing the first single taken from the new record Little Shocks.

On June 3, 2011 Kaiser Chiefs put the record on their website. Instead of the idea of allowing fans to download the pre-made album, the band created a new policy of allowing fans to "create their own albums". So fans were able to choose 10 out of the 20 launched songs and create the album for £7.50. There was also option of buying an already created album, that would give a £1 per creator.

On June 27, the band released a physical version of The Future Is Medieval with 12 tracks of the 20 available online, but also included the band's latest single Kinda Girl You Are, that didn't feature the first tracklist for not being ready on time.

The video of Kinda Girl You Are is becoming to be controversial thanks to Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears lookalikes.

"I first heard you on the radio
And felt my heart explode
No other choice, i heard a voice and fell in love with you
From st. bartholomew's to gloucester avenue
No one can do what you do, oh"

Kaiser Chiefs, Ruby

For me this song NEVER gets old.

One of my favorite songs from this gorgeously good english band Kaiser Chiefs.
They were created in 1997 and their name came up after a big change on the band and they started to write new songs and a new name - the origin comes from the South African football club Kaizer Chiefs where the former Leeds United captain Lucas Radebe had played [note: KC are from Leeds]

The members of this great band are:
- Ricky Wilson, lead vocals and percussion
- Nick Hodgson, drums, backing vocals and co-lead vocals
- Andrew White, guitar
- Simon Rix, bass
- Nick "Peanut" Baines, keyboards and percussion

With three released albums "Employment" (2005), "Yours Truly, Angry Mob" (2007) and "Off With Their Heads" (2008) and one to come this year which there's no information yet.
My favorite one is the second it's more revolutionary and strong, has a huge meaning behind the hole concept. Fame, society and thematics spoken on this album. And thanks to that, my choice will be Ruby the first single to reach the UK musical charts.
Ruby is AMAZING! So good that appeared as bonus track at Guitar Hero III, Singstar and as a song on Lego Rock Band.
This song is damn ironical, damn strong and full of positive vibrations.
And in July I will see them AGAIN, it' so exciting!! They are the band i've seen the most after my KEANE.
Kaiser Chiefs are completely crazy live! They are such pieces of energy, always jumping around, singing, running like maniacs, behaving like themselves, more than natural with their fans. Love them!


"Let it never be said that romance is dead 
'Cause there's so little else occupying my head 
There is nothing I need, 'cept the function to breathe 
But I'm not really fussed doesn't matter to me "

Enjoy! Leave us your thoughts!

Yours truly,
