来自leeds的Kaiser Chiefs由主唱Ricky Wilson、鼓手Nick Hodgson、键琴手Nick “Peanut” Baines、贝斯手Simon Rix和吉它手Steve “Whitey” White. Kaiser Chiefs的前身，是一支叫作Parva的车库摇滚乐队，当年发展并不如意，饱尝冷暖。 Kaiser Chiefs的名字来源于一支成功南非足球队。 从小立志组乐队，走红，是不少英国孩子的梦想，Kaiser Chiefs的成员也不例外。 Nick、Peanut和Simon三人在学生时代一起组乐队，后来遇上弹吉它手Whitey，而在Nick的引荐下又找来乐感强、样子讨人喜欢的Ricky加入，Parva便这样成军。 问题是英国等待伯乐发掘的乐队，有如恒河沙数，Parva只有处于无人问津的境况。 另一方面，Nick和Ricky在两年前于列斯成立了Pigs这个他们的Club Night，在舞池上大播Ultravox甚至Van Halen的作品，而在Pigs里他们也有了新启发。结果他们把Parva的作品丢掉，并起了一个新名字，Kaiser Chiefs就是这样衍生，实行DIY是他们的大前提。 于是Kaiser Chiefs便积极宣传他们的现场gig，在Nick的卧室里以一台廉价混音机灌录Demo。他们把成名作《Oh My God》的Demo毛遂自荐投寄给众唱片公司A&R，但是却全无回音。幸好NME对他们宠爱有加，为他们多加报道，继而Drowned In Sound公司才把Oh My God发表成单曲。然后，Kaiser Chiefs终受到B-Unique音乐商青睐，给予他们一纸唱片合约。 Kaiser Chiefs得以走红，外界都视之为Franz Ferdinand所种下的成果，彼此的作品，同是满溢着八十年代New Wave流行曲气息而来，况且Nick亦屡次提及他对Ultravox这支新浪潮乐队的热爱。然而Kaiser Chiefs却并没有染指为另一支New Wave复兴队伍，因为他们的音乐其实来得很Britpop，打造出结集着精良英式流行曲元素而来的美好声音。 Ricky有着酷似Damon Albarn的嗓音，加上Peanut一手流丽闪亮的键琴与Synth Riff，委实不禁叫人联想起昔日的Blur，而且还要是1994年Parklife时期的Blur──巧合的是，为Kaiser Chiefsr的首张专辑Employment跨刀监制的Stephen Street，就正是当年Parklife的制作人。不要忘记从前Blur的“精良英式流行曲总汇”背后，何尝不是满载New Wave音乐的熏陶而来呢？ 从有着扣人心弦合声的成名作《Oh My God》到张力十足的新浪潮摇滚《I Predict A Riot》，再到即将发表成单曲与Sing-along非常的爽劲曲目《Everyday I Love You Less And Less》，都是那类醒神、漂亮、爽朗而带着New Wave熏陶的型格英伦流行音乐。 《Saturday Night》与Suede那首无关，但却以强劲的Glam Rock曲式带我们乘坐电单车在公路上奔驰狂飙，相信今天只有Graham Coxon归队，Blur才能再打造出这么大摇大滚的歌曲。而曲如其名地 “Na-na-na”唱着的Na Na Na Na Naa，更调皮如早期的Supergrass啊！ .
