Kaiser Chiefs and The Cribs join forces on stage in Leeds

Kaiser Chiefs and The Cribs swapped songs on stage at a Leeds homecoming gig, and plan a limited 7-inch of each other's songs alongside a joint tour.

The Kaiser chiefs and The Cribs joined forces on stage at a gig in their hometown of Leeds on Wednesday. At a homecoming gig at the city's Metropolitan University, Kaiser Chiefs vocalist

Ricky Wilson joined The Cribs on stage as they neared the end of their support set, to sing 'Another Number', then later in the evening The Cribs all joined Kaiser Chiefs to sing 'Modern

Way.' The bands have recorded each others songs and plan to release a limited edition 7".

Ricky told NME: "I was a lot more nervous getting onstage to do one of their songs than I am to do ours. I didn't wanna let them down, because they came on and all three of them came on.

They are charmingly messy, good boys. I really enjoyed (the show), I enjoyed every single moment of it, it went past so quickly, we came onstage and I thought we'd missed out a huge bunch of songs because it just went like that. It was really good fun, and Leeds has been good to us, so hopefully we can be good to Leeds."
