The Kaiser Chiefs

..broke out last night at Webster Hall, and the Kaiser Chiefs predicted it. Last night was filled with the sounds of England. The Kaiser Chiefs, a five-piece rock n' roll band brought the house to life with their stage presence. At points the lead singer jumped the barrier between stage and fanatics and handed the microphone over to thousands of his backup singers. At one point he even dedicated a song to a punkish girl he dubbed, "Jane,” climbing in the crowd, much to her disbelief, and pulling her up on stage to dance with him while he continued his serenade. The Cribs, from Leeds, opened with a strong performance singing their three-piece popish punk with the guitarist dancing around stage in his torn up boots, and the drummer standing on his own kit at times. The Redwalls were the first openers and they might sound like 60's British rock but they hail from Chicago and wowed the crowd with their harmonies. One of the more lively shows I've been to recently from start to finish.
