Just got back from seeing Kaiser Chiefs, and oh my god were they amazing. I screamed my way into near laryngitis, and it was totally worth it. (It was all for Ricky. During Oh My God he kept encouraging the crowd to scream louder and louder, finally topping it with "I don't want any of you to have a voice tomorrow." Well, yep, I reckon I won't.)

Ricky is a totally maniac. He jumped into the crowd multiple times, both crowd surfing and strolling around and once, near the end, to walk across the bar of the Mod Club and pour himself a pint. He's also a complete genius at stirring up the crowd. (Anyone who can bully a Toronto crowd into going as beserk as they did tonight is a miracle worker.)

On a personal aside, it was awesome that they started and ended with the two songs I want to hear the most: Spanish Metal from the new album started them off, and Oh My God was the big rousing finish. In between there wasn't an ounce of fat in the whole set; it was all fast, rocking numbers, no ballads allowed.

Next up, Franz Ferdinand in just over two weeks. Yay!

I love all their songs, but the fast rocking ones are perfect for a gig.

It's like all my fave British bands decided to give me a big early Christmas present. And I'm not complaining. *g*

It was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Possibly ever. (And I've seen a lot of shows.)
