Kaiser Chiefs

Kaiser Chiefs, an NME favorite, along with Arctic Monkeys and The Kooks, just not as deservingly so, IMO. I guess I'm somewhat pleased to see these blokes on the lineup. I'm somewhat partial to British music and it always puts a smile on my face to see them get noticed here in the US. I guess you could throw them in with the british new wave reemergence.

It kinda surprises me to see that "I Predict A Riot" wasn't too successful when it was first released. The popularity only hit when it was released again after "Oh My God". Yours Truly, Angry Mob just came out recently, but I have yet had a chance to listen to it. I wasn't too impressed with "Ruby" so I'm not expecting too much more from the album. I'm guessing they'll play early to mid-day on the main stage, seems like a good slot to me.

Sooooo, here are the usual samples for ya. Hope this blog so far is showing you some artists you might not have known.
