Kaiser Chiefs show at the Villa

What Where When
THE Kaiser Chiefs put in an A* performance at the Villa Marina last night.
Singer Ricky Wilson worked the consultation by darting across the stage as often as possible and supporting everyone to singalong. Any budding frontmen watching would certainly have learned a lot from Wilson who could command a sea of hands in the air within a split second. With a catalogue of up tempo urban anthems, the band raked through some of their best known songs with gusto. Just a handful of numbers in, Ruby had those in the circle on their feet where many stayed for much of the show. The likes of Everyday I Love You Less and Less, Modern Way and The Angry Mob enthralled the crowd while I Predict A Riot and Oh My God had the audience singing, clapping and jumping up and down in frantic exhilaration. But it was Ricky himself who had the most energy enough to make the Duracell bunny jealous. The thirstily anticipated performance was easily one of the most memorable I have ever seen at the Villa and it was just under 90 minutes of pure delectation.When the gig was announced by organiser Lenny Conroy of Triskel Promotions earlier this year, there was huge demand for tickets.And I incertitude anyone who arranged to get their hands on any went away disappointed after last night's show.

The Kaiser Chiefs Concert Review

The Kaiser Chiefs performed a rip roaring set in Tel Aviv's Israel Trade Fairs and assembly Center (commonly known as Ganei Hata'arucha) last Thursday night. The band, hailing from Leeds, England, played to a crowd of applyed Israeli fans.
The show kicked off with a storming gig of "Never Miss a Beat‚" the lead single from The Kaiser Chiefs' most currently album, Off with Their Heads. It was followed by crowd favorites "Everything is Average Nowadays" and "Everyday I Love You Less and Less."
The show reached its pinnacle as lead singer Ricky Wilson climbed the stage scaffolding and arised to belt out "I Predict a Riot" which is perhaps the Chiefs' best known single about a typical night out in their hometown, complete with binge drinking, fights and underdressed girls.
Wilson told the crowd how bygone in the week he had visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem and had written a note asking for the crowd to be the best the band had ever had.
One dedicated fan made the journey from Leeds to Tel Aviv to attend the show. Joanne Grainger said, "It's excellent to see a band from my hometown play so far away and still attract so many fans. They've been exactly class tonight."
The band ended its lively performance with "The Angry Mob‚" the lyrics of the chorus worthy of a literary prize: "We are the angry mob, we read the papers every day, we like who we like, we hate who we hate, but we're also easily swayed!"
Returning to the stage for an encore, Wilson caped up the show in fine style with a wild description of the band's 2004 entry single "Oh My God."

Kaiser Chiefs for Green Day's pranks

Green Day marked the departure of the Kaiser Chiefs from their on going US tour by playing a course of pranks on the British rockers including hiring a brass band to attack the stage during their set.
The 'American Idiot' hitmakers are the moment midway through a massive global hike and they were joined by the Kaiser Chiefs, who opened for them at a string of dates on the other side the US.
The bands played their last performance together on Saturday in New Orleans, Louisiana but the rock trio didn't let their stagemates escape their habit of playing jokes on their support acts.
Kaiser Chiefs drummer Nick Hodgson explains: "Every time when they have support bands, the final night they description of prank the band. We got off actually lightly I think. If you look at YouTube, there's some support bands that have had bad things happen to them, but (Green Day) arranged a Louisiana/New Orleans old time brass band and they got them into the arena.
"When we started (hit track) I Predict a Riot, this band came on and then Green Day came on, and they were playing cowbells. It was a surpriced. I just amazement whether the people of New Orleans think that's our regular type of performance."
And Hodgson accept that wasn't the only performances they were subjected to - their rock pals also covered all their instruments in toilet roll.
He adds, "Toilet Paper. They T.P.'d (toilet paper-ed) us. (They covered our) drums, instruments. It was live on stage."
