Kaiser Chiefs

Appeared at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2008 and return in 2011

Kaiser Chiefs are an English rock band from Leeds. The group was founded in 1997 and consists of Ricky Wilson (vocals), Andrew 'Whitey' White (guitar), Simon Rix (bass), Nick 'Peanut' Baines (keyboards), and Nick Hodgson (drums).

They were named after the South African football club Kaizer Chiefs, a team which former Leeds United defender Lucas Radebe played for. The band are well known fans of United, regularly sponsor players on matchday, and on 5 December 2007 it was revealed by NME that the band would play a homecoming show at Elland Road stadium on 25 May 2008.

The group's debut album Employment was released in 2004. The album was primarily inspired by new wave and punk rock music of late 1970's, and enjoyed international success with sales of over three million. In 2005, the album was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. Kaiser Chiefs' second album Yours Truly, Angry Mob (2007) yielded "Ruby", a number one single in the United Kingdom. They are now confirmed to headline the Friday night of Isle Of Wight Festival in 2008.
