Kaiser Chiefs formed up in not-so-sunny Leeds around the summer of 2003, naming themselves named after the South African football team. The band gained momentum thanks to the single 'I Predict a Riot,' which quickly electrified the British press when it was released in 2004. When Kaiser Chiefs' first 7" 'Oh My God' reached No. 66 on the U.K. charts (a startling achievement for an unsigned band), doors opened for the group to share the stage with larger acts, leading to attention from A&R scouts who wanted to sign the band. 'I Predict a Riot' reeled in U.S. modern-rock radio programmers caught in a blooming new wave revival fronted by Franz Ferdinand and Dogs Die in Hot Cars. Their debut album 'Employment' was released domestically in the U.S. in spring 2005. Datarock features Fredrik Saroea and Ketil Mosnes from Bergen, Norway.

Bridge Gallery Opening Reception Saturday, April 28, 3:00-5:00pm “Friends within Art” was an idea that started out small and appeared to be only an unfathomable idea at first. It was created as an accident, and now that idea has come to fruition among 2 individuals joined by their passion for creating art. “Friends within Art” a fairly self explanatory title for an Art exhibit. Displays the work of Matt Coglianese, and Melanie Smith, connected by friendship and a passion for art. This is the first showing of “Friends within Art” with plans to further expand upon this idea with each passing year.
