KAISER CHIEFS IN CONCERT:
British rock outfit Kaiser Chiefs have been burning bright ever since rising to fame as part of the UK's post-punk revival scene in the early '00s. The Chiefs' sounded as fresh as ever on their 2014 album Education, Education, Education & War, a stellar slice of new wave grandeur that made for a perfect addition to their electrifying live sets. Whether they're treating fans to early favorites like "I Predict a Riot" or playing newer cuts like "Coming Home", the Kaiser Chiefs' knack for big hooks and even bigger choruses never fails to satisfy on their unforgettable tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Kaiser Chiefs got their start in Leeds in 2000, releasing one album under the name Parva before reemerging in 2003 as the Kaiser Chiefs. They made their album debut under the new moniker in 2005 with Employment, a massive critical and commercial success that peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and launched them to international fame with hit singles like "Oh My God" and "I Predict a Riot". The band's 2007 sophomore album Yours Truly, Angry Mob was an even bigger success, landing at No. 1 in the UKI and spawning the international chart-topper "Ruby". The band has remained a dominant force over the years, taking home three Brit Awards and becoming staples at some of the world's biggest festivals like Glastonbury. Kaiser Chiefs once again topped the UK Albums Chart in 2014 with Education, Education, Education & War, hitting the road shortly after for another electrifying tour in support of the album.
