Kaiser Chiefs added to summer schedule
The Marlay Park series of gigs has just become even more bumper with Kaiser Chiefs confirmed to play there.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 05 Jun 2007
The gig takes place on August 26 with tickets priced €49.50 go on sale at 9am on Friday June 15.
Along with their own chart-conquering endeavours, Chiefs drummer Nick Hodgson has accepted the credit/blame for Mel C deciding to participate in the Spice Girls reunion.
“I said, ‘You should do it. Now is the perfect time’,” he explains to MTV. “Mel said, ‘Do you really think?’ I said, ‘yeah.’ She said, ‘Right, I’ll do it.’ I asked, ‘Are you kidding?’ and she said, ‘No.’”
That’s one less Christmas card we’re sending this year.

The news that the Kaiser Chiefs were to deliver a second album angrier and more politicised than the first was greeted with some scepticism in this quarter. It doesn’t seem to have worked out too badly in practice, though, and ‘The Angry Mob’ is testament to that. A chunky, infectious slice of guitar-pop, it provides everything you would want from a Kaiser Chiefs record, and more. A hit.

Maybe we’ve been just a little too exposed to the Chiefs of late, but this third single from Employment lacks a certain something, possibly the element of surprise that underpinned ‘I Predict A Riot’. We know that they love Britpop era Blur more than their mothers, we just don’t need the point rammed home so unequivocally.

Six months ago, Kaiser Chiefs were complete unknowns. Now, they’re making appearances on the Ant and Dec show, playing Letterman, being saluted by Damon Albarn and heralded as the spearheads of “the new Britpop” movement. The group here give the lowdown on what’s been a hectic 2005 to Ed Power.

There must be some mistake, surely? A new British band that don’t stick needles in their arm, live in an East London squat or sound like a really, really bad Franz Ferdinand demo. Not that Kaiser Chiefs are going to win any prizes for originality. Named after one of South Africa’s most famous footie teams, the Leeds quintet have a big thing for The Jam, XTC, Blur and any other band to whom the term “quintessentially English” applies.
