KAISER CHIEFS IN CONCERT:
British rock outfit Kaiser Chiefs have been burning bright ever since rising to fame as part of the UK's post-punk revival scene in the early '00s. The Chiefs' sounded as fresh as ever on their 2014 album Education, Education, Education & War, a stellar slice of new wave grandeur that made for a perfect addition to their electrifying live sets. Whether they're treating fans to early favorites like "I Predict a Riot" or playing newer cuts like "Coming Home", the Kaiser Chiefs' knack for big hooks and even bigger choruses never fails to satisfy on their unforgettable tours.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Kaiser Chiefs got their start in Leeds in 2000, releasing one album under the name Parva before reemerging in 2003 as the Kaiser Chiefs. They made their album debut under the new moniker in 2005 with Employment, a massive critical and commercial success that peaked at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and launched them to international fame with hit singles like "Oh My God" and "I Predict a Riot". The band's 2007 sophomore album Yours Truly, Angry Mob was an even bigger success, landing at No. 1 in the UKI and spawning the international chart-topper "Ruby". The band has remained a dominant force over the years, taking home three Brit Awards and becoming staples at some of the world's biggest festivals like Glastonbury. Kaiser Chiefs once again topped the UK Albums Chart in 2014 with Education, Education, Education & War, hitting the road shortly after for another electrifying tour in support of the album.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"...the KC put on a blistering 90 min show. Ricky Wilson was in fine form, whipping the crowd into a frenzy as he leapt about the stage and made his customary charge to the bar for a few shots."
"Kaiser Chiefs never fail to put on the best, crowd-involved shows I've seen. The smaller venues are nice, but they don't disappoint at the bigger places either."
"Ricky Wilson is an unbelievable performer; have no idea where he gets all the energy! They did a nice mix of their best old and new songs; good connection with the audience"
I had a great time. Would happily go again. Venue was perfect: big enough to house a crowd, but small enough that you felt like you were part of something special.
Really enjoyed the concert, couldn't believe they were playing in such a small venue, very personal performance and 100% given to the fans .....great night !
Great concert. Venue was fantastic, it was quite small which made the event seem very intimate. Its the first time that we have seen the Kaiser Chiefs but it won't be the last. Ricky Wilson was amazing, not at all what we expected, great energy and a great front man. We were stood right at the front near the stage and had a fantastic view. Loved everything about this concert.
As an avid concert attendee, I've been to my fare share of epic performances. Kaiser Chiefs trumped them all! The whole night was the craziest, most fun I've had in a while!
Kaiser Chiefs played a lot of songs from their most recent album, plus a good selection of favorites from their previous ones. The energy of the band, particularly the singer and drummer, was incredible! And very communicative to the audience. Awesome gig!
I loved this concert!!! This band is full of energy and they are great interacting with the public absolutely in love with this band.i would give five stars at this sow but honestly the security staff in the Webster Hall wasn't great; I told one of the guys that a strange dude was bothering me and he just looked at me and walked away. Anyway the Kaiser Chiefs are terrific I would recomend their shows very much !!!
If I didn't love them before I am now. What a phenomenally charged show! Very single second was explosive. Love this band, will go again when they come back!! And please do, NY loves you!!!!
What a performer Ricky Wilson is! He is so energetic and is able to keep it up throughout the entire concert! I loved Webster Hall as well, it is a typical small NY venue, and the acoustic is fantastic. Just love going to concerts in NYC!
Best show ever!!!! The guys have a lot of energy and the setlist was the best!
Another great show from these guys! I hadn't listed to their new album, but might go buy it now after hearing a few songs.
Awesome band, awesome set, intimate-ish venue = unforgettable show. I wish these British bands came around more often.
What a brilliant show. The frontman was a showman along the lines of Freddie Mercury / Iggy Pop. The band played all their hits, along with the best of their new stuff. It was just a completely fantastic show, one of the best I've attended. It was an intimate venue, and they totally rocked it.
The show was fantastic, even though poor Ricky had a stomach bug. They were all incredible, including Ricky. I was so happy to see them here in the states. A brilliant band that needs to catch on over here. And HOB was great, actually let us trade out our balcony tickets to get closer seating that was newly opened. Very cool. Overall a great night and a fabulous band. I would recommend seeing Kaiser Chiefs any day!
Excellent sound, excellent songs by an excellent band
Lots of energy, lots of interaction with the audience, lots of well-known songs for KC fans to sing along with along with some wonderful tunes from Education, Education, Education and War. Around $55 for two tickets; would have been cheap at twice the price for the quality of performance. Streets of Laredo opened and they would have been worth the price of admission alone.
Band had awesome energy and great relationship with crowd.
I have wanted to see Kaiser Chiefs for a solid decade, and I finally got to see them in Louisville. I drove 5 hours for this concert, and it was totally worth it. This was one of my favorite shows ever. They sounded fantastic and were so fun and engaging. And I loved the venue. I wish I could experience that night all over again!
A real good time! The Brits always know how to rock! The singer walked amongst us, sat in the crowd, and fixed himself a drink. Very intimate setting, so close you can touch the stage with ease. One of those shows you remember for its intimacy. Also, not too crazy loud, a plus.
A great concert experience!! Lead singer Ricky Wilson is quite a showman, getting down into the audience and interacting with us multiple times. Kaiser Chiefs have several wonderful songs and deserve to be better known here in the U.S. and worldwide.
In their first trip to the U.S. in quite some time, Kaiser Chiefs reminded fans why we kept listening and what an amazing band they are to see live. They're back in the States in June and I would urge you to check out a show!
