Kaiser Chiefs have labelled Blur's decision to reunite as "brilliant". The Leeds group have long singled out the band as a huge influence. Speaking to Newsbeat Kaiser Chiefs' Nick Hodgson said: "It's brilliant - I'm very pleased - normally I hate reunions - this doesn't feel like a reunion."Earlier this week Blur announced the original line up will play for the first time in eight years next year at London's Hyde Park

DURAN DURAN'S KAISER HOPE
DURAN DURAN'S KAISER HOPE
Duran Duran enjoyed collaborating with Kaiser Chiefs drummer Nick Hodgson on several songs for their forthcoming new album.
Duran Duran expect big things from their Kaiser Chiefs collaboration.Kaiser Chiefs are currently in the studio with producer Mark Ronson and are delighted with their recent writing session with the I Predict A Riot hitmakers' drummer Nick Hodgson.
"We did half a day's writing with Nick from the Kaiser chiefs, which was fun. He's a friend of Mark's and he thought we'd be able to do something different with him, Keyboardist Nick Rhodes said
"We got some really good things from it actually, it's not finished yet but they'll definitely make the album."
The 'Rio' star also revealed they have to keep an eye on Mark around the musical equipment in the studio.

Kaiser Chiefs v Arctic Monkeys
Hmm, albums are boring? I beg to differ. Maybe he meant Kaiser Chief albums are boring… lazy hooks and shallow piece of music don’t really float my boat. They will never match the Arctic Monkeys’ or Blur’s accuracy and watching story telling border. Even still, is a total, rational album too much to ask for?

The discography of Kaiser Chiefs, a British indie rock band, contains three studio albums, one extended play, thirteen singles, and one video album. Kaiser Chiefs were formed in 1997 in Leeds, England by classmates Nick Hodgson (drums), Nick Baines (keyboards) and Simon Rix (bass). The trio were later joined by Andrew White (guitar) and Ricky Wilson (vocals).
The band's debut album Employment was launched in March 2005. prejudiced by the New Wave and punk rock of the late 1970s, the record took pleasure in success in the United Kingdom with sales of over 1.3 million. The album arrived at number two on the UK albums chart and certified five times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). It shaped four singles, and was short-list for the Mercury Prize in 2005 and nominated for "Best British Album" at the 2006 BRIT Awards. Also in 2005, the band released Enjoyment, a video album consists of music videos, live performances and interviews.
The band's second album, Yours Truly, Angry Mob, was launched in February 2007. It arrived at number one and was certified platinum in the UK, and peaked at number forty-five in the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States. Yours Truly, Angry Mob shaped four singles, two of which arrived at the top twenty on the UK singles chart. In April 2008, the album's lead single, "Ruby", was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for "Most Performed Title of 2007–2008". Kaiser Chiefs released their third album, Off with Their Heads, in October 2008. It arrived at number two in the UK and formed two singles.

About Kaiser Chiefs
The band’s main musical power include The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Kinks, Blur, The Clash, Eric Burdon, The Jam, and other new wave bands. The motivation for their unusual name came from soccer player Lucas Radebe, who before joining Leeds United played for the leading South African team Kaizer Chiefs. Andrew White (b. England; guitar), Ricky Wilson (b. Charles Richard Wilson, 17 January 1975, Keighley, West Yorkshire, England; vocals), Nick Baines (keyboards), Nick Hodgson (b. Nicholas Hodgson, 20 October 1977, England; drums) and Simon Rix (b. James Simon Rix, 18 October 1977, England; bass) formed the band in early 2003, having originally played garage rock under the Parva moniker. Their lively brand of post-millennial guitar rock, which would have been labelled “indie” in previous decades, rapidly found favour on the local show circuit.
