Artist Biography
Kaiser Chiefs are an English rock band from Leeds, formed early in 2003. The band's explosion onto the global music scene in early 2005 was epitomised when they opened the Philadelphia Live 8 concert.
HistoryPrior to 2003 the members of the band had been a garage rock group called Parva (before that they had been known as Runston Parva). However, after being dropped by their label, the band went back to their roots and adopted a more britpop sound, helping the band reach their current popularity within the UK and beyond as a consequence.
Several members of the band are ardent fans of the English football team Leeds United (as the band originates from Leeds.). The band was named after the South African Kaizer Chiefs Football Club, the former team of long-serving former Leeds captain Lucas Radebe.
On 18 February 2005 they were the opening act at the NME Awards show and won the Philip Hall Radar Award.
