Kaiser Chiefs Collaborate with Ronson AND Duran Duran
Although their last album was a complete flop that nearly knocked them off the radar and introduced rumors that the band was going to call it quits, The Kaiser Chiefs are back in the studio recording their next album.
Drummer and songwriter, Nick Hodgson spent five or six hours with Duran Duran and wrote a number of songs with the international superstars.
Another big name on the project is producer Mark Ronson.
“I called Nick a week ago and asked if he’d be interested in coming to work with Duran Duran and write a song” Ronson told NME.COM. “He’s never done that before, because he only writes with Ricky and his own band, but I thought it made a lot of sense because there’s a lot of Kaiser Chiefs songs I could imagine being on a Duran Duran record 25 years ago.”
Ronson plans on putting at least two of the songs on the album that could define the band’s future. The Kaiser Chiefs are booked for many of the UK’s summer festivals and can be seen on tour with U2 on selected dates.
