Kaiser Chiefs

In early 2012, when Kaiser Chiefs performed 'Ruby' live at the Birmingham O2 Academy, they were riding high on the success of their album 'The Future Is Medieval,' which had been released just the previous year. This album marked a unique moment in their career as it allowed fans to choose the tracks for the album—a novel approach that not only engaged their audience but also showcased the band’s shift toward a more interactive relationship with their listeners. As they delivered 'Ruby'—an upbeat anthem that perfectly encapsulates their energetic sound—their lively performance resonated with the crowd, highlighting the band's knack for blending catchy tunes with engaging live shows. It was clear they were at a dynamic crossroads, balancing commercial success with fresh, innovative ideas.
