Kaiser Chiefs - 06:02:09 - People's Zurich House was earlier this year it finally arrived, my first Kaiser Chiefs Concert. In October 2007, I unfortunately missed it due to scheduling reasons. At that time they played in the Winterthur Eulachhalle. Because I this hall suitable for concerts anyway, keep it pleased me even more that they filled this time the People's Zurich home.
When I arrived at 18.50 clock in front of the still closed doors of the house people were still relatively few waiting fans gathered. I went for the first time past the entrance, to decide on which door should I queue, when I noticed a note in the ticket box that says: "Today: Kaiser Chiefs - Sold Out" This does not surprise me, but the people kept house with a capacity of around 1,500 rather small. At exactly 19.00
clock opened the doors to the foyer. The doors to the room and the balcony were closed for the time being and you could ever give the jackets to visit the merchandise stand or approve it for something to drink. A few minutes later, opened the doors to the concert hall and the run on the first series began. But since present at that time still quite a few fans were, it was to me a good seat in the front row to get hold of. While I waiting on the opening band, I noticed on the standing around me a lot of English and High German language. As far as I noticed that the audience in my area are either very young (12-18 years) or somewhat older (35 up)
I was somewhat surprised when, shortly after 19.30 clock the members of the Scottish Volume
Dananananaykroyd went on stage and stood directly losfegten, but on the ticket start clock 20.00. The performance of Dananananaykroyd came with two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, a singer and another singer, who sometimes provided in addition as a second drummer for noise, a cyclone near. The band fall somewhere between garage, punk and screamo. Then energy is happening loaded onto the stage, yawning or simply baffled reaction came from the audience, which could be largely from the fact that the band is completely unknown to Weil, she has no album yet been published. Applause between songs, but enthusiasm is different. Well, yes there were only an estimated 200 people in the hall, which counted on the balcony. The first band always tries to sneak into the hearts of the audience to, it also tried on a human basis - of the singer came down to the stage and hugged s wanted the complete first series. After about 30 minutes passed and the band cleared the stage for the main act.
entered At exactly 20:30, the Kaiser Chiefs on stage, which opened the show with the song
English Metal, which is also the first song on the new album. It took exactly to the second song (
Everyday I Love You Less And Less ) to the audience hopping and singing along loudly began. The singer Ricky Wilson was just as close to the people as his colleague from Dananananaykroyd and did not hesitate often to us to come into the stage pit and sing his verses here. The whole band seemed to joke very hook, drummer Nick told, for example, that they are "in the afternoon on the lake and rode bike spotted ducks had, one of which also handle the next song;
Good Bad Ducks Ducks .
Another scene that quite a few people by surprise, and I drew the Kaiser Chiefs in an ever more sympathetic light was when Ricky during the intro of
Take My Temperature slipped off the stage and then a side-emergence of the balcony again came out. In the midst of the startled people he sang the song and went back to the center back and back again. And the Encore it could be Ricky not to take a proper bath in the crowd and marched with us on the ground floor back to technology and forward again.
adopted after about 90 minutes, and all their hits, the Kaiser Chiefs and left a happy and satisfied audience. Finally, I
got the setlist from Nick and bought me the tour shirt for 40 francs, which compared to the overpriced ticket price (CHF 69) appeared almost human.
