Kaiser Chiefs Ditch The "Nah, Nah, Nah's"

Kaiser Chiefs have revealed the reason why so many tracks on their debut album ‘Employment’ were filled with “nah-nah-nah’s” and “ooooh’s.”

Ricky Wilson’s vocal utterances are the bane of all Kaiser Chiefs detractors, but the frontman maintains they were only done out of good jest.

He explained that the band have now ditched such antics on their new long-player ‘Yours Truly, Angry Mob?’ – well apart from the repetitiveness of new single ‘Ruby.’

Wilson told Pitchfork: “I don't do any 'na's, I think. Nick (Hodgson) might, but it's because he doesn't bother learning the lyrics! He goes in and does these backing vocals, and he just makes it up as he goes along.

“The thing is, with the first (record), we needed that, because we were always a support band. We needed to get the audience to sing along, and that was the best way of doing it: having no lyrics and having big bits that went, "oooh," like that.

“We don't need them anymore. We've got one song that's got a big 'la la la' in it, but that's about it, I think.”
