\n The band originally formed in 1996 and helped shape the soundtrack to the early 2000s with their indie rock music.\n<\/p>\n
\n Best known for hits such as I Predict a Riot and Ruby, the Kaiser Chiefs have been releasing music and embarking on tours ever since.\n<\/p>\n
\n This weekend, they\u2019ll bring their beloved songs to the stage at Neighbourhood Weekender \u2013 the first time the band have performed in Warrington.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe\u2019re in a really good place at the moment as a band,\u201d said Andrew White, who plays guitar.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe respect our own history, and we appreciate that some of our songs mean a lot to some people. They obviously mean a lot to us too, but they mean different things to different people.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cSo, we enjoy playing the old songs, we enjoy the crowd\u2019s reaction. We love the look of nostalgia in people\u2019s eyes when we play I Predict a Riot or Ruby or something.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cExpect the hits and expect to see us enjoying it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Despite their history of countless shows, the band don\u2019t rest on their laurels when it comes to their performances.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe always try and put 110 per cent into it,\u201d said Andrew.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe appreciate where we are. We don\u2019t take it lightly and we definitely don\u2019t coast or cruise through it.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWith it being a sort of support slot to Richard Ashcroft [at Neighbourhood] \u2013 we\u2019re used to being in that position.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe\u2019ve played with a lot of big bands and a lot of big artists. When you\u2019re in a support slot, you\u2019ve got to try and be better than the band going on after, so that\u2019s what we try and do.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Now working on new music for a tenth album, the Kaiser Chiefs\u2019 approach to making music has changed from the start of their careers.\n<\/p>\n
\n Where there was once desperation behind the music, now the band just want to make something that impresses themselves.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe don’t need to try and impress anyone,\u201d said Andrew.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe want to try and do it for ourselves. There’s less pressure this time.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cObviously, we want a successful record, but it’s not the be all and end all of making an album for us now. We just want it to sort of sort of satisfy us in some way.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe first album there\u2019s usually more desperation in there, maybe a bit more passion.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIf you\u2019re fortunate to make a career out of making music, as your career goes on, different things come to play.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cLife can’t help but get in the way and it does affects music and I think you can notice that with early albums a lot of bands are really raw and fresh, obviously because they’re young and you know you can hear desperation.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The Kaiser Chiefs will perform on the Main Stage on Saturday between 7.10pm and 8.10pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The band originally formed in 1996 and helped shape the soundtrack to the early 2000s with their indie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":595142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-595141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=595141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/595142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=595141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=595141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=595141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
