| Kaiser Chiefs, the multi-million selling English indie rock band from Leeds will perform at Fort Canning Park on April 7th 2009! Kaiser Chiefs come to Singapore after headlining Australia’s V Festival. Comprised of vocalist Ricky Wilson, guitarist Andrew White, bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick ‘Peanut’ Baines and drummer Nick Hodgson, Kaiser Chiefs are touring in support of their latest album Off With Their Heads.
The Kaiser Chiefs' career took off in 2005 following a high profile appearance at the Glastonbury Festival. The band played the main stage and had the crowd eating out of the palm of its (collective) hand. The summer of 2005 also marked the 20th anniversary of Live Aid. Kaiser Chiefs were invited to open proceedings for the Philadelphia leg of the day long celebrations, playing alongside Stevie Wonder!
They sealed the deal in 2006 with triumphant sets at Reading & Leeds, T In The Park and Oxegen Festivals. In February 2006 the Kaiser Chiefs won three Brit Awards, for Best Group, Best British Rock Act and Best Live Act.
Don’t miss out on the chance to see five individuals, five Kaiser Chiefs rock out Fort Canning Park for the very first time!
Kaiser Chiefs Bio
A mere eighteen months since the release of their second album Yours Truly, Angry Mob, which saw Leeds' Kaiser Chiefs have the best selling UK rock album of last year, they are set to unleash their third long-player. The multi-million selling bands 3rd album, entitled Off With Their Heads, is slated for Stateside release on October 14th via Universal Motown and was produced in its entirety by Mark Ronson.
2008’s Producer of the Year Grammy winner, Mark Ronson has worked his magic again. Testing his skill with one of Britain’s biggest rock bands, the team has created an impressive synergy and the record bears a more expansive sound of any Kaiser record to date. With backing vocals from Lily Allen and New Young Pony Club, it sees the band add to their ever bulging bag of hit singles.
Kicking off with the somewhat incongruous “Spanish Metal” before launching into “Never Miss A Beat” - the first single off the record, the album has a powerful launch. “Like It Too Much” replete with lush orchestral arrangements from Bond & Bjork maestro David Arnold is a rousing classic Kaisers number which sits comfortably alongside the likes of album highlights “You Want History” and “Good Days Bad Days”; the latter underpinned by keyboard arrangements conjuring up New York disco morphed with Talking Heads-like brilliance, whilst in its wake creeps up the Kaiserdelic “Tomato In The Rain,” heralded by its Hammond Organ and great lyrics.
“Half The Truth” more than nods to the likes of XTC and comes with a contribution from UK grime artist Sway, meanwhile friend and musical ally Lily Allen contributes backing vocals to “Always Happens Like That” before the psychedelic bent continues when drummer Nick Hodgson resumes vocal duties on album closer “Remember You’re Girl”, sounding like a long lost John Lennon track from the mid-70's.
Off With Their Heads was produced by Mark Ronson and Eliot James at RAK and Eastcote Studios in London in the Spring of 2008. It was mixed by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, LCD Soundsystem, Run DMC) at Soundtrack Studios, New York.
