Kaiser Wilson to act like a prick

Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson tells Xfm that Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl has been keeping the band drinking Jägerbombs on their Australian tour.

Well, he said it. Amongst other things. Chief Kaiser Ricky Wilson has spoken to Xfm about what it's like on tour with Foo Fighters in Australia, in particular revealing that Dave Grohl is busy keeping everyone pissed. Well, he is the nicest guy in rock, etc, yada, etc.

Anyway, Wilson told XFM: "It's been so good, we went straight offstage and Dave gave us a load of Jägerbombs. You ever had a Jägerbomb before? It's great. It's a shot of Jägermeister and a shot of Red Bull. The poor man's speedball, that's what they call it."

He continued: "It's always good to play with the Foo Fighters, but it's hard work. Especially here where a big bunch of Australians have waited six months to see the Foo Fighters, and they have to put up with half an hour of Brit Pop revivalists. I'm only joking, they love it here."

Wilson also reflected on his band's success over the past year. And this is the bit where he talks about being a prick: "Everything past 1,000 records sold is a massive bonus to us. I'm not just being humble, seriously. Everything been amazing. From the first week of being in this band I'd done everything I'd wanted to do, which was be in a band. It has been amazing, I can't wait till I can have some time off so I can get all bloated and start walking around and acting like a prick. I want to walk round Leeds with a huge gold-plated hat on...I am joking, y'know."
