For charity download, The Cribs Cover Kaiser


Yorkshire lads The Cribs are set to aid charity with the release of a new cover Kaiser Chiefs .
Although they both hail from Yorkshire, there is little in common between Kaiser Chiefs and The Cribs. Sure, the Leeds pair may have begun life on a tiny indie but they quickly swapped that for novelty singalong hits.
The Cribs, meanwhile, have clung on to their integrity. Slowly building a devoted fan base with a series of celebrated releases and lengthy tours, the band were recently given the chance of working with one of their heroes.
Johnny Marr's work with The Smiths wants no introduction, and the Manchester musician's guitar playing adorns The Cribs new album. 'Ignore The Ignorant' is another giant leap for ward for the group, smashing its way into the Top Ten.
UK tour Spawning a lengthy our, The Cribs are now set to surprise fans with a particular cover. The Wakefield group are set to honour a worthy local cause by donating all proceeds from the new download to charity.
The band have chosen to cover Kaiser Chiefs Modern Way'. Originally released in 2005 the song was previously only available as a B-side, appearing on the flip of The Cribs single 'Mirror Kissers'.
All proceeds from the track will go to aid Cash For Kids Action On Neglect Appeal, which aims to help neglected children in the Leeds and West Yorkshire area.
The Cribs are also set to release a new single, with 'We Share The Same Skies' due for release on November 9th.

Kaiser Chiefs to the Hail


The Kaiser Chiefs want to show they care. The British rockers have officially joined Damien Rice, Gary Barlow, Rob Brydon and several other music and comedy acts as performers at the Concert For CARE benefit on Nov. 2. The event, taking place at London's Brixton Academy, will raise money for CARE International, which works with 55 million people in 70 countries each year to help raise people out of poverty.
A famous film and television composer to David Arnold, is the man behind the concert event. He said, "I have wanted to do this concert from the day I met a 20 year old woman in Rwanda who was orphaned at 14, is HIV positive and has to look after her two younger brothers. Without CAR

E's support she would be unable to keep them in school, feed them or keep a roof over their heads. I have asked my colleagues from the music and comedy world to get together to help raise money and awareness of the amazing work CARE does all over the world."
The Chiefs, who scored US hits with "Ruby" and "I Predict a Riot," are huge in the UK and will be an incredible draw for the event. The band's last album, Off with Their Heads, debuted on the UK charts last October at No. 2.

Spoof indie Kaiser Brand


COMIC Katy Brand has some new unsuspecting victims to rip it out of the Kaiser Chiefs.
The indie band join previous prey Little Boots and The Saturday in her ITV2 spoof Katie Brand's Kick Ass Gig tonight.
Katie dresses up in a tie and dodgy suit and dons a cropped wig to play the chart toppers.

But the lyrics for Katie's send up involve the lads ending up on the dole and being dropped by their record company.
She even dons a skeleton costume and prances around like the rockers in their hit Every Day I Love You Less and Less.
Katie Brands Big Ass gig is on tonight at 10pm on ITV2.
