Kaiser Chiefs - "Never Miss A Beat"

[Video: Pete Maiden/Eric Helton; Editing by Pete Maiden]

Right now our favorite album in the whole wide world is the Kaiser Chiefs' new masterpiece, Off With Their Heads

The quintet from Leeds went into the studio with producer Mark Ronson and they created one of the best rock records of the year.

This past Saturday the Chiefs blew the roof off of New York City's Webster Hall. Jay-Z was even in the house, going apeshit up on the balcony -- before he split to catch Beyonce's performance uptown at SNL. "He kept asking the person next to him, 'Is this the hit? Is this the hit?'" reports Chief singer Ricky Wilson. "That's a good thing!"

Most remarkably, toward the end of the set, Wilson parted the crowd, jumped behind the bar, poured himself a drink, and crowd surfed back to the stage. (We know he's done it before, but it was still brilliant!)

After the show we hooked up with Ronson and the Chiefs at the gastropub, Spotted Pig, for some wee hour drinking.

Yesterday, we had the honor of welcoming the band up to the S.S. offices, where they treated us to amazing acoustic version of a few cuts from Off With Their Heads, including "Never Miss A Beat." 

It was sick!!! Check it out!!!
