Kaiser Chiefs are an English indie rock/ alternative rockband 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. Prior to 2003 the members of the band had been a garage rock group called Parva(before that they had been known as Runston Parva). However, after their label Mantra Records went bust in late 2002, the band went back to their roots and adopted a more britpop sound, helping the band reach their current popularity within the UK and beyond as a consequence. Several members of the band are ardent fans of the English football team Leeds United (as the band originates from Leeds.).
