Kaisers named best live act

Kaiser Chiefs were today honoured as the Best Live Act at the 2008 Q Awards with Russian Standard Vodka.

The Leeds quintet, soon to release their third album Off With Their Heads, were afforded the accolade – sponsored by Fly 53 – by readers of Q and Qthemusic.com.

Kaiser Chiefs, who headlined the Isle Of Wight Festival this summer, are about to set off on a UK tour this week.

Collecting the prize, Keyboard player Peanut dedicated the award to the band’s tour manager.

Other nominees for the best live act award – which was won by Muse last year – were:

Kings Of Leon
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
The Verve
Rage Against The Machine

incidentally i like the way Q are using photos from previous years to make this years event seem 'a happening' and not an oap day outing

q awards 2008
look at the ads

ian brown
the manics
&
co

do you think they just gave awards to the people that turned up?

that would explain radiohead not getting anything then

carr to coldplay ;

sorry lads - you might have got stuck in traffic but the awards gone to sue pollard

Is it me or am I not surprised the Kaisers won the best gig just as they are about to embark on an arena tour .There are other bands around you know Q.

Posted by Julie Robb at 2:58 PM | 07/10/2008 | Report Abuse

Ya know Q don't vote, the public do, idiots. I'm pretty sure those thousands of people weren't wrong. & if you've ver been to a Kaisers gig you'd realise why. Guessin you didn't see Elland Road?
Well Done Chiefs!
Bloody well deserved, best of the nominees easily.

Posted by Holly at 4:53 PM | 07/10/2008 | Report Abuse

Well, I think it is well deserved. Elland Road was fantastic and I go to a lot of gigs so plenty to compare it with. Looking forward to seeing them in London in a couple of weeks.

Anybody who has been to a Kaiser Chiefs gig would know that it's full of energy and atmosphere; they are brilliant live performers. Don't knock it until you have been to one. If you don't like them then there's no need to be derogatory about their achievements... they won the award based on a voting system. Well done boys, enjoy the rest of your tour! Loved the Leeds and Manchester gigs xx p.s. Manics are fantastic live!!
