Kaiser Chiefs

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.

"Take a look, take a look, take a look
At the kids on the street, no, they never miss a beat
No, they never miss a beat, never miss a beat

Never miss a beat, beat, beat, beat"

—Never Miss a Beat

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), Andrew White (guitar), Simon Rix (bass), Nick Hodgson (drums) and Nick Baines (keyboard).

Kaiser Chiefs provides examples of the following tropes:

Break Up Song: "Everyday I Love You Less and Less".
Chorus-Only Song: "Na Na Na Na Naa".
Funny Afro: Simon Rix, depending on the publicity shot (like the one above).
A Good Name for a Rock Band: 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.
Market-Based Title: The Future is Medieval will be released in America with the title Start the Revolution Without Me.
Oop North: They come from Leeds.
She Is Not My Girlfriend: "You Can Have It All", except it's not quite a denial:

I tell you what it's going to be like
No, you can never hold my hand in public
They can't know or understand
That you and me are now together

Shout-Out: "Caroline, Yes".
Signature Song: "I Predict a Riot" at first, but "Ruby" seems to have superseded it.
Spell My Name with an "S": 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).
