Biography
Kaiser Chiefs is one of the most notable bands on the modern rock-n-roll scene. It was founded in Leeds in 1997 by vocalist Ricky Wilson, guitarist Andrew White, bassist Simon Rix, keyboardist Nick Baines and drummer Nick Hodgson and took a name after famous South African football club Kaizer Chiefs, where former Leeds United defender Lucas Radebe (musicians favorite player) started his career. Kaiser Chiefs was not the first band for them. Nick Hodgson, Nick Baines and Simon Rix started to play together when they attended the same school in Bradford. In 1996 Hodgson, Andrew White and Ricky Wilson founded the band Runston Parva, named after small Yorkshire village (later their name was changed to simply Parva). They even managed to release album, but later label which worked with them was closed. So all five decided to take the fresh start with new songs under the new name.
