Kaiser Chiefs bio

Kaiser Chiefs are a English new wave rock band from Leeds, formed early in 1997. They were formed by school friends Nick Hodgson, Simon Rix and Nick Baines. They were later joined by Andrew White and art school graduate and Ricky Wilson, who they spotted singing with a Rolling Stones tribute band. Originally they were named Parva. After reinventing themselves as the Kaiser Chiefs in 2002, the band made a strong impact on the British music scene, culminating in winning three Brit Awards for 'Best Group', 'Best British Rock Act' and 'Best Live Act' in 2006. Their debut single, Oh My God was released in 2004. Neither the song or its follow-up, I Predict a Riot gained a notable chart position. The majority of people are unaware that these songs were released prior to the succesful re-issue of Oh My God in 2005. The band also re-issued I Predict a Riot after the increased exposure Oh My God and Everyday I Love You Less and Less brought them. Their most successful single to date is Ruby which peaked at #1 on February 25, 2007. Their debut album Employment was released in 2005. A second album, entitled Yours Truly, Angry Mob, was released on February 26, 2007.
