Kaiser Chiefs: how we made I Predict a Riot

It was inspired by a hectic night at a club we ran - people were taking their clothes off and hanging from ceiling pipes'

We never wrote a love song in the Kaiser Chiefs. At the time of I Predict a Riot, I was inspired by tracks like Sharp Darts by the Streets, songs that were gritty and real. The inspiration for the verses came from me DJing at the Cockpit in Leeds, and at the end of the night we'd drive home past this club called the Majestyk. There was always a big snarl-up there, loads of people in the road, police everywhere.
