Kaiser Chiefs help to The Neat

Hull post-punkers The Neat had got a raise up in music industry, he in the ladder of music industry.
When Kaiser Chiefs saw live previous year, " The foursome going on to become the first signing to the I Predict A Riot".
Singer Merrick 'Mez' Green's band perform Sneaky Pete's on Wednesday night, he say, "I suppose they're acting more like our managers than our label. It's nice to have some lads who have been there and done it showing us a few of the ropes. Apparently, they'd seen us at a London gig we did - and they got in touch offering us a few days in the studio. Well, you're not going to say no to that are you?
Having some famous names like Kaiser Chiefs certainly helps - a bit of name dropping here and there certainly opens doors!"

Kaiser Chiefs' Andrew White for world's longest scooter rally sing up

Kaiser Chiefs Andrew "Whitey" White for the world's longest scooter rally has signed up to take part in a world record attempt. The star is set to ride the length of Hull's Humber Bridge on August 14 with hundreds of other participants from the Yorkshire Scooter Alliance, which he is a member of. If more than 548 riders take part then they will break the world record. Jake Parker, a spokesperson for Grimsby And Cleethorpes Scooter Scene, who organised the event, said: "To have Andrew White riding his scooter over the Humber Bridge and camping here will be amazing. We were absolutely stunned when we found out he was coming. I am a bit fan for Kaiser Chiefs"

'Need to get bored' before beginning work on the new album.

Kaiser Chiefs' frontman Ricky Wilson has revealed the band "needed to get bored" in order to rediscover their hunger for writing new music.

The Leeds band, who decided to take a break following their homecoming appearance at last August's Leeds Festival, are now working on a follow-up to 2008's 'Off With Their Heads'

"After a couple of months [off] we got bored," Ricky Wilson told BBC. "Then I got really bored, then mind-numbingly bored and that's when you start thinking about the fact you want to get up and do something again."

Currently recording new material in drummer Nick Hodgson's newly built studio, Wilson gave an update on proceedings.

"I haven't felt this creative since we first started," he explained. "We're playing around at the moment, I'm sending him [Hodgson] words and lyrics in the mail. He's sending me CDs in the mail."

Kiser Chiefs expect derby victory

This was the view of coach Vladi-mir Vermezovic yesterday as Ama-khosi prepared for their Telkom Knockout semifinal against Orlando Pirates on Monday at the Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban.

Vermezovic has promised fireworks, a claim hard to believe considering the two teams produced goalless draws in both their league games this season.

The Soweto giants qualified after Chiefs beat Mamelodi Sundowns and Pirates dumped Jomo Cosmos out of the cup at the weekend.

"The game will last for only 90 minutes and there will be no extra time or penalty kicks," said Vermezovic. "I have a feeling things will be different this time around.

"We have to control the mood as we have been doing so well in the last few big games we have played. There are no possibilities other than winning because we are healthy, psychologically strong and in good shape."

The Serb said his players had realised that some games had to be played harder, and the derby - in a cup competition - is one of those games.

"We will only leave Johannesburg for Durban on Sunday afternoon and the players will get some time off to be with their families and friends on the holiday. I trust that they will be professionals in their behaviour and keep their minds on the game," he said.

Vermezovic said he was aware of reports about the behaviour of key PSL players and their "nightlife antics", but gave his troops a vote of confidence going into the weekend.

Chiefs will be without midfield workhorse Josta Dladla because he is serving a one-match suspension. Dladla has been a live wire for the team this season and played a big part in the victory against Sundowns in the quarterfinal. But Vermezovic will have defensive midfielder Tinashe Nengomasha back for the Pirates game.

"There's no reason to change the combinations from the team that played Sundowns, but one forced change is that of Josta. However, we are yet to make the final deci-sion, as George Lebese needs a last-minute medical check-up to determine his availability," he said.

Kaiser Chiefs: Music industry needs clear strategy and control over illegal downloads

It’s 4am in a hotel room far from home and you’ve just broken up with your lover. Aside from the minibar, there’s no empathy on offer: not a soul to talk to, no shoulder to cry on.
You update your Facebook status with news of the split. Seconds later someone on the other side of the world sends your smart phone a digital version of What Difference Does It Make?, allowing you and Morrissey to wallow together in self-pity. Someone else sends you Paul Simon’s Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover, which cheers you up a bit. This may sound far-fetched, but the hope of the music industry rests upon such connections. A future where songs are not bought, but accessed via telephones, sent across cyberspace, and passed around friends through platforms such as Twitter, is what is hoped will save music from the twin ravages of illegal downloading and a lack of strategic direction.
The full extent of the crisis was illustrated with the news that EMI, the label that gave the world the Beatles and Pink Floyd, faces the possibility of break-up if it fails to find £120 million by June. The smallest of the “big four” record labels, it has suffered from the battle between its parent company and bankers over a £2.6 billion debt — despite a jump in profits and the signing of 200 artists in 18 months.
“EMI are perceived to be in a terrible situation, worse than they actually are, and that’s putting off some artists,” said James Sandom, manager of the Kaiser Chiefs. “It’s a shame because they’ve got some great creative people and are out to prove a point.”
