Kaiser Chiefs are a British post punk / art 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.

The band consists of vocalist Ricky Wilson , guitarist Andrew White , bassist Simon Rix , keyboardist Nick 'Peanut' Baines , and drummer Nick Hodgson .

Prior to 2003 the members of the band had been a garage rock band called Parva (before that having been known as Runston Parva). However, after being dropped by their label, the band made a conscious decision to adopt a more typical britpop sound, helping the band reach their current popularity within the UK and beyond as a consequence.

The Kaiser Chiefs are well known for their creative use of recycled screaming.

On 18 February 2005 they were the opening act at the NME Awards show and won the Philip Hall Radar Award.

The band re-released the single 'Oh My God' on 21st February , which charted at #6. The debut album Employment was released on 7th March 2005 and entered the charts at #3 that week. Despite becoming favourite after being shortlisted, the album failed to win for the 2005 Mercury Music Prize .
