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."
