Two summers ago Manchester City played vs the South African Kaizer Chiefs (won 1-0 in Africa), the football team giving the name to the band.
Kaiser Chiefs’ singer Ricky Wilson has revealed that he is a fan of Liam Gallagher’s band Beady Eye. Gallagher has in the past mocked Wilson's group for wearing make-up and described them as "just a bad Blur". Wilson responded by claiming that "Oasis have disappeared up their own arse".
He exchanged bitter words with both Liam and brother Noel since his band hit the big time in 2004 but spoke to Digital Spy about Gallagher’s new band saying: “Yeah, I’ve got the record – I got it on the day it came out. I like it! It is what it is, it’s brilliant.
“[Kaiser Chiefs songwriter and drummer] Nick [Hodgson]‘s been to see them I think three times – I haven’t seen them yet. But yeah, good on him.”
He added: “He’s done what he said he’d do. I doubt he cares what anyone thinks, but yeah. I like Beady Eye.”Of reports that the Kaiser Chiefs had turned down a lyric from David Bowie, Wilson said: "Nick said something and [producer] Tony [Visconti] said something and you know that in between every opposing tabloid story the truth is somewhere in the middle - and a lot more boring.
"A story's a story. I don't really know about that. I'm not going to talk about it!"
