Kaiser Chiefs

Before Nick J.D. Hodgson took the stage at the Deaf Institute, the Kaiser Chiefs were riding high on their 2016 release, 'Stay Together.' This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, showcasing their attempt to evolve their sound while staying true to their roots. It’s interesting to note that Hodgson was a founding member of the Kaiser Chiefs and had an integral role in shaping their early hits, before eventually stepping away. In 2017, he embarked on a solo career, giving fans a taste of his individual artistry, as evidenced by his performance of 'Boxing Champ.' The live recording in Manchester not only captures the nostalgia of his past with the band but also highlights his dynamic shift as a solo artist, creating a bridge between both worlds of his music journey.
