comment
Kaiser Chiefs are an indie rock band from Leeds, England, formed in 1996 as Runston Parva, then changed to just Parva; however, after their record deal fell apart with a single album due to the label's closure, they decided to start from scratch and rechristened themselves with their current name, with which they would achieve international success. Their current name comes from Kaizer Chiefs, a football team from Johannesburg (South Africa), in which one of Leeds United's all-time famous players, Lucas Radebe, started his career.Their sound draws much inspiration from New Wave and post-punk, while adding touches of other styles of rock along the way.The band is comprised of: Ricky Wilson (vocals; not the one from The B-52s Faking the Dead), Andrew "Whitey" White (guitar), Simon Rix (bass), Vijay Mistry (drums, replacing founding member Nick Hodgson) and Nick "Peanut" Baines (keyboard).Singer Ricky Wilson joined the third season of The Voice UK as a coach.

Wretched Hive: The city depicted in "I Predict a Riot", which may or may not really be Leeds, depending on who you ask. (Worth noting, though, that the first verse refers to someone named Smeaton as "an old Leodensian" — i.e. a person from Leeds.)

comment
Inconsistent Spelling: Both the first and the current name fall under this: Runston Parva has an N in the middle of the first name to differentiate itself from Ruston Parva, a hamlet near Leeds, while the "Kaiser" in Kaiser Chiefs is written with an S to differentiate from the football team they took the name from (which is spelled "Kaizer", with a Z).

Shout-Out
 Kaiser Chiefs (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: "Caroline, Yes" is a reference to the song "Caroline, No" by The Beach Boys. "Addicted to Drugs" is a direct reference to Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love", right down to having the exact same chorus line (albeit substituting "love" with "drugs"). "Child of the Jago" takes its name from an 1896 novel by Arthur Morrison. The first three words of Education, Education, Education & War originate from a speech made in 1996 by Tony Blair. The "& War" was added as a Take That! to his participation in The War on Terror. The video for "People Know How to Love One Another" shows the band riding in a van similar to the Mystery Machine, emblazoned with the Rose of York. "Kurt vs. Frasier (The Battle for Seattle)" is a tribute to Kurt Cobain and Frasier Crane, two icons of The '90s who lived in Seattle.

Album Title Drop: The title of Off With Their Heads shows up in "Like It Too Much". The Future is Medieval has its title repeated in the outro of "Child of the Jago". The US release Start the Revolution Without Me gets its title from "Cousin in the Bronx", although the song uses "a revolution" rather than "the revolution". "Cannons" from Education, Education, Education & War comes close, with only two instances of "education" instead of three. Yours Truly, Angry Mob and Stay Together each have a derived Title Track ("The Angry Mob" and "We Stay Together" respectively).
