The Kaiser Chiefs will be playing in Edinburgh next year, and serviced apartments are a great option for anyone who will be visiting the city during this period. The Kaiser Chiefs are one of the most beloved pop bands of the new millennium; the band specialises in ridiculously infectious pop music and the group have a great sense of humour that has endeared them to most people. The band first got everyone’s attention with their debut album “Employment” released in 2005. The singles from the album were all chart hits – there was “Every Day I Love You Less and Less”, “Modern Way”, and the huge hits “Oh My God” and “I Predict A Riot”. A measure of the band’s success is that their songs were covered by pop acts like Lily Allen, Girls Aloud and the Sugababes. The band’s success has continued with the follow up albums “Yours Truly, Angry Mob” in 2007, and 2008’s “Off With Their Heads”. The band will be touring hard to promote their fourth album “The Future is Medieval”, released this year, and the live shows should remind everyone just how many great pop songs the band now has in their locker. The band will be playing Edinburgh’s HMV Picture House on the 9^th February 2012, and if you are lucky enough to be in attendance it should be a wonderful evening.

Serviced apartments are still available in Edinburgh for the Dead by Dawn film festival next year. Serviced apartments are a great place to stay during your visit to Edinburgh, offering much more space than the traditional hotel room. If you are interested in serviced apartments in Edinburgh, why not visit the Serviced City Pads website and see what your options are?

Serviced apartments in Edinburgh are available for next year’s Dead by Dawn festival which will take place from 29^th March – 1^st April 2012. Dead by Dawn is a horror film festival that has taken place annually since 1993 (except for a break in 2010) at Edinburgh’s Filmhouse. The festival is an international affair with films from all around the world – this Serviced City Pads blogger was lucky enough to attend last year’s festival, and there was a great diversity of films on display. This year’s line-up is still to be confirmed, but a quick recap of last year’s line-up will illustrate the range of film on offer. In terms of the more traditional fare there was “The Last Employee”, a haunting ghost story from Germany, and “Julia’s Eyes” a Spanish psychological chiller about a woman losing her sight. There were also some films that don’t fit the traditional horror mould, but were frightening nonetheless, such as the Japanese drama “Cold Fish” by arch provocateur Sion Sono. There were also some strange offerings like the excellent Korean film “The Neighbour Zombie”, which was composed of short films made by Korean film-makers. British film was represented by the absolutely charming and funny “Harold’s Going Stiff” which saw a lonely old man suffering from the onset of zombie like symptoms making a new friend. There was space for comedy at the festival too, with “Dale & Tucker vs. Evil” and “Chop”, which was an absolutely inspired parody of “Hostel” and “Saw”. As well as showcasing new film, the festival also offered the chance to see classic horror on the big screen – last year saw screenings of “Carrie”, Cronenberg’s “Dead Ringers”, and “Killer Klowns from Outer Space”. It’s not all about features though; the festival also showcased short films and animation from all over the world. For anybody who loves horror film, the Dead by Dawn festival will be a delight – you will have the opportunity to see film from all over the world. If you want a challenge, you can try to survive the Saturday night all night screening – it ran until 7.00am in the morning, and this blogger is proud to say he managed to make it through, meaning that he did not miss a single thing on the festival bill.

If you will be coming to Edinburgh for Dead by Dawn next year, have you considered serviced apartments for your accommodation? Serviced apartments can offer much more space and comfort than the traditional hotel room, with a living and dining area, and a kitchen where you can prepare your own meals. To see the range of serviced apartments available in Edinburgh, visit the Edinburgh city page on the Serviced City Pads website.

Jessie J will be playing Usher Hall in Edinburgh in October, and there are still serviced apartments available for that night. Serviced apartments are an increasingly popular option for people travelling around the UK, and if you will be coming to Edinburgh to see Jessie J at Usher Hall then they could be an ideal choice for accommodation. Contact us here at Serviced City Pads to see what options are available.
Serviced apartments are available for the night of 25th October 2011 when Jessie J will be playing Usher Hall in Edinburgh. Jessie J is a star on the rise, and the show at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall is a great chance to see her live. Jessie J first came to public attention with the single “Do It Like a Dude” which was a huge hit, only kept off the top spot by Bruno Mars’ “Grenade”. Despite the appearance of sudden stardom however, Jessie J (real name Jessica Cornish) had been pursuing a career in music for many years. She enrolled at the BRIT school at 16, and worked at her songwriting and performing. Initially, Jessie J struggled to forge a career as a solo artist, and instead began working as a songwriter for hire for other artists, such as Chris Brown and Miley Cyrus. Jessie was one of the songwriters behind Cyrus’ hit single “Party in the U.S.A.” which was a US number 1. Interestingly, Jessie J’s breakout hit single, “Do It Like a Dude” was initially another song that she wrote for another artist. Inspired by Rihanna’s “Rude Boy”, she wrote the song for Rihanna, only for her label to convince her that she should release the song herself. This she did, and she has never looked back. The follow up single, “Price Tag” featuring American rap star B.o.B, went in at number 1, and confirmed that Jessie J is one of the most exciting pop stars around at the moment. She triumphed at the BRIT awards in 2011, walking away with the Critic’s Choice award, and her debut album “Who You Are”, released in February 2011, saw critical acclaim and commercial success debuting at number 2 on the album chart and selling over 100,000 copies in its first week. The subsequent success of the next singles “Nobody’s Perfect” and “Who’s Laughing Now” have established Jessie J as a hitmaker, and her touring has built her reputation as a live performer. Anyone lucky enough to have a ticket for her show at Usher Hall in Edinburgh will see a pop star who should be around for a long time.
If you will be coming to Edinburgh to see Jessie J perform have you considered serviced apartments for accommodation for your visit? Serviced apartments are a great alternative to the usual hotel room – they can offer a home away from home and really help you to enjoy your stay.

Kings of Leon have announced their biggest ever Scottish gig. See it and stay in Edinburgh with Serviced City Pads.

Highly-acclaimed American rock band Kings of Leon are to play Murrayfield next June. This afternoon’s announcement that the family group will play at the home of Scottish Rugby – on Sunday 26 June 2011 – follows hard on the heels of confirmation that Bon Jovi will play at Murrayfield on Wednesday 22 June 2011.

The rocker family will play Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, on June 26 this year. It puts paid to rumours they were going to headline next year’s T in the Park. It also stops the grumbles from fans who were incensed the group didn’t include any Scottish dates in their December tour of the UK later this year.

The Murrayfield gig will see the group – singer Caleb Followill, his brothers Nathan, Jared and cousin Matthew – play at the home of rugby. The stadium has a capacity of 67,000 and the biggest Scots venue they had headlined before that had been Glasgow’s SECC in December 2008, although they also headlined T in the Park in 2009.

The band can’t wait to get back to Scotland and Caleb admitted they keep touring because he has been used to being on the road from birth. He said: “Immediately after my birth, my mom had a little suitcase and put it in between her legs in the footwell of the front seat and laid me in it. “From the word go I was always in the car, so touring was never going to be a problem.”

The band will perform in five UK venues next summer, including a return to London’s Hyde Park, the scene of last year’s triumphant headline performance to 65,000 fans. They will also play shows in Coventry, Sunderland and Manchester. They reached No1 in the UK album charts with fifth album Come Around Sundown which became their third consecutive album to debut at No1. It also took the biggest week one sales of the year and the biggest ever first week digital sales. The Followills, who release new single Pyro on December 6, were in London this week and played seven tracks f rom their latest album, including current hit Radioactive.

The band had a few teething problems early on as they struggled to kick off new track Mary, with singer Caleb later telling the crowd: We are doing some songs we have never played before and we are playing some we haven’t played in a long time, so bear with us.

We’re sure they’ll be better rehearsed in time for Murrayfield.

Edinburgh is one of Europe’s most beautiful and historically interesting cities, and is also Scotland’s capital. Edinburgh’s history dates back to Roman times (AD79) with the city growing in size and stature throughout the middle ages. Much of the stunning architecture dates back to Georgian and Victoria times. Thankfully many of the beautiful buildings situated throughout the old town were preserved and returned to their former glory, during a time when other British cities were pulling down their heritage and replacing it with concrete. Edinburgh is a visually stunning place to visit.
