The Kaiser Chiefs Duck Tour Review – Hull Bonus Arena.

by admin | Jan 22, 2020 | Music gig review

The Kaiser Chiefs are embarking on a new ‘Northern Holiday’ with their Duck tour; and you should be looking out for them. Their new album, ‘Duck’, smashes together the new and old sounds of the Kaiser Chiefs, this tour was destined to be their best yet. Rest assured they didn’t disappoint.  

The staging resembles the cover of the new album. They have the beach hut with them. Which is wonderful to see along side the lit up Kaiser Chief’s sign, similar to the one from their last tour. It’s a great visual nod towards what to expect from this show. The lighting is largely a romantic blend of blues and pinks, with occasional spot light moments. Complete with an enormous amount of pyrotechnics, strobes fit for anarchy and confetti cannons galore.

Kaiser Chiefs – Duck

UK band Kaiser Chiefs latest release perfectly represents a transition away from their previously popular rock/post-punk revival sound. Inspired by artists of the 70s and 80s new wave movement, the band has released an album showcasing a more traditional and upbeat new wave sound.

As bassist Simon Rix commented, the band “wanted to do something that had a Kaiser Chiefs DNA but still try and do something different.” The new album entirely attests to Rix’s comment, introducing a pop-infused sound rarely heard in KC’s previous releases. From anthemic opening  People Know (How To Love One Another)  the album definitely doesn’t hesitate in jumping into the band’s newfound sound, as within the first few seconds, the voice of lead vocalist Ricky Wilson can be heard chanting the catchy phrase and title “people know how to love one another.”

Kaiser Chiefs – People Know How To Love One Another

The rest of the album continues to live up to this new upbeat standard, with lyrics matching the uplifting tone: “There’s boots on the ground, And every single sound, Is like a bomb that will never explode” from People Know, and track titles like  Don’t Just Stand There, Do Something  and  Electric Heart.

The entire album highlights the unity that music and joyful sound can bring, with lyrics to emphasize the unifying message. Kaiser Chiefs made no mistake in bringing to light the topic of unity through sound, repeating the infectious chorus and pairing the words with a catchy guitar riff and an energetic drum beat. The style behind the message is similar to the bands iconic  I Predict A Riot , which similarly gives listeners something to sing and jump along to together. However, the new album’s uplifting melodies and cheery verses — as heard in beach-y anthem  Golden Oldies and jazz-influenced tune Wait  distinguish the band’s newfound sound from it’s previously popular rock music.

Even one of the album’s slowest songs  Target Market  finds influence from the band’s experimental nature. This same experimental nature does not come without drawbacks, however. At a few distinctive points throughout the album, the lyrics leave something to be desired, as the band largely focused on creating a new and unique sound to pair their strangely unimaginative writing with. It isn’t a blunder to focus on, however, as listeners will surely find themselves chanting along to the catchy, repetitive and anthemic sounds found in  People Know ,  Don’t Just Stand There, Do Something , and  Wait .

Kaiser Chiefs – ‘Duck’ review

The Leeds lads are casually confident on their seventh(!) record, which boasts everyman anthems and even a reference to sitcom hero Frasier Crane

“ People keep on saying the songs that they’ve been playing will never ever change the world ,” sings Ricky Wilson on the feel-good romp of ‘Duck’ single ‘People Know How To Love One Another’. “ There’s boots on the ground and every single sound is like a bomb that will never explode ”. Maybe he’s looking back on the years since the early ‘00s indie revolution, with the fires of the riot they once predicted now largely extinguished. Still, Kaiser Chiefs have fought to keep their own little trench.

Where their 2004 debut ‘Employment’ took them from indie darlings to six-times Platinum arena-botherers, the band’s last effort ‘Stay Together’ (2017) saw them try to worm their in via a different route with some very slick and polished electro-pop. But this time around, they just seem quite casually confident.

With all its blustery horns, Beatles melodies and Magic FM ‘80s fist-clench power-balladry, opener ‘People Know How To Love One Another’ seems to take Kaisers back to their early days of an everyman anthem, but much more world-wise and assured. ‘Golden Oldie’ continues that same cocky swagger and with the comforting familiarity that its name suggests before ‘Wait’ brings in a little touch of a Northern Soul . A surprising departure comes on the twitching Human League-esque dark-synth pop of ‘Record Collector’, while there’s a meander between the polished and the crazed on ‘The Only Ones’ that sounds like The Killers battling with The Cribs.

‘Duck’ is far from inventive, but there’s fun to be had. With the glitterball waltz of ‘Target Market’ and on the wilfully obnoxious ‘Northern Holiday’, Kaisers remain as dedicated as ever to their mission to serve you an earworm. Closer ‘Kurt V Frasier (The Battle For Seattle)’, namechecks Kurt Cobain and Frasier Crane as Wilson ends the record with a wistful and youthful optimism. And why not? Few of their ‘00s peers have survived like this and can still pack out an arena.

They’re not Arctic Monkeys and unlikely to make a mind-blowing concept record about living on the moon . They won’t follow in The Killers’ footsteps and headline Glastonbury . But while Kaisers have never changed the world, they’re certainly going to remain very much a part of it.

Kaiser Chiefs Duck Tour Powered With ChamSys MagicQ MQ 500

LONDON   – There may be thousands of people filling arenas on the Kaiser Chiefs’ current Duck Tour, but after only a few notes have been struck, most of them probably feel like they’re enjoying the convivial company of close friends in the warm confines of their favorite pub. Such is the magic that this multi-platinum band is working on audiences with their spirited singalongs and on-stage antics.

The iconic quintet from Leeds is not only a lot of fun to see on this tour in support of their seventh album, they’re also really enjoyable to light, especially when you have a ChamSys MagicQ MQ500 Stadium at your disposal.

“The MQ500 has been a pleasure to work with and has made running the show a lot of fun, by simplifying things and giving me more time to be creative,” said Hyne. “Rob Sinclair is responsible for the show’s lighting and set design. The Kaiser Chiefs new album Duck and its cover artwork heavily influenced his design path.  Consequently, the pace of the songs and show is quick. This is reflected in the lighting cues and programming. The extra number of faders, buttons and Exec in the MQ500 provides me with so many more capabilities.”

Hyne notes that the band’s set is made up of 23 songs from a list featuring around 50 numbers. Each song has a page and is structured roughly to 20 cues per song; and each cue is running and releasing macros.

“There is no time code, and Ricky Wilson, the frontman, runs around a lot,” said Hyne. “So, I’m working with a playback structure whilst I busk all of the front lights. The robustness of the MQ500 and its intuitive layout make it easier to manage all these variables.”

The lightshow uses 12 universes over sACN and includes over 100 fixtures. Most of the programming for the show was done in Liverpool at Adlib.

For Hyne, the move to the MQ500 was a “big jump” from the MQ80 he had been using. Although he had anticipated a “tougher challenge,” he found that learning to work the larger console was relatively seamless, the extra faders and buttons along with the second screen in the MQ500 making his work programming the Ducks show easier. “It gave the whole process a greater sense of freedom,” he said… not to mention making everything more fun.
