Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has revealed the band used to have to do their own sound checks. The 'I Predict A Riot' singer said that when the band supported the Ordinary Boys on tour, they were expected to set up their own equipment before performing.Ricky told Britain's Guardian newspaper: "We'd be starting the sound check with a room full of people. We'd be stood there going, 'Testing one-two', and saying to the audience, 'This isn't actually it, we've not started yet.'"We would all walk off stage and literally three seconds later we'd walk back on and play the gig."But the Yorkshire-born singer is convinced the task improved the band's music.He said: "It makes you good, gigs like that, it gives you a bit of perspective. People ask now, 'Do you get nervous?' and the answer's no, because whatever happens it's not as bad as when we had to set up in front of the audience."(C) BANG Media International
