The Kaisers – Whatcha Say?

Biography
Edinburgh, United Kingdom (1992 – 2002)
The Kaisers were a Scottish medwaybeat/garage rock group, known for their masterful replication of the sound and look of the British beat boom of the early ‘60s, right down to their throwback album covers and merchandise. Their music, a seamless blend of classic rock ‘n’ roll covers and originals, was intentionally subjected to the technological limitations of the ’60s, being recorded live in the studio with an absolute minimum of overdubs and mixed in monaural sound. All members of the band, whose line-up was subject to a number of changes, bore the title “Kaiser” as a prefix to their given names.
Formed in 1992 in Edinburgh, Scotland, the original Kaisers were Matt Armstrong (guitar), John Gibbs (bass), Johnny Maben (drums), and George Miller (lead guitar), the latter two of which were the only constant members of the group. The Kaisers were influenced by lesser known beat groups such as Bern Elliott & The Fenmen, The Big Three, and The Undertakers, among others. The Kaisers quickly gained a sizable fan following owing to their raucous, energetic live act, all the while fully developing their sound. Eventually, they were signed to the London label No Hit Records.
The Kaisers recorded their first album, Squarehead Stomp! (1993), at Toe Rag Studios, a now-legendary recording facility in Hackney, London, also used by fellow garage rock revivalists such as The Bishops, The Datsuns, and The Ettes. The original pressings of a majority of Kaisers albums were released on the No Hit imprint Imperial, which dealt exclusively in Kaisers records.
