Hail to the Chiefs

The Kaiser Chiefs want to show they care. The British rockers have officially joined Damien Rice, Gary Barlow, Rob Brydon and several other music and comedy acts as performers at the Concert For CARE benefit on Nov. 2. The event, taking place at London's Brixton Academy, will raise money for CARE International, which works with 55 million people in 70 countries each year to help raise people out of poverty.

David Arnold, a famous film and television composer, is the man behind the concert event. He said, "I have wanted to do this concert from the day I met a 20 year old woman in Rwanda who was orphaned at 14, is HIV positive and has to look after her two younger brothers. Without CARE's support she would be unable to keep them in school, feed them or keep a roof over their heads. I have asked my colleagues from the music and comedy world to get together to help raise money and awareness of the amazing work CARE does all over the world."

The Chiefs, who scored US hits with "Ruby" and "I Predict a Riot," are huge in the UK and will be an incredible draw for the event. The band's last album, Off with Their Heads, debuted on the UK charts last October at No. 2.
