Who is Nick Hodgson?

Nicholas James David Hodgson is a drummer, backing vocalist and lyricist, formerly of English indie band Kaiser Chiefs.

He attended St. Mary's Menston with Nick Baines and Simon Rix. He then went onto Trinity & All Saints University College in Horsforth, Leeds. There he studied media. He later met Ricky Wilson and Andrew White at a mod night called Move On Up at The Underground in Leeds. Together they formed Runston Parva, later to be called Parva and now Kaiser Chiefs.

Together with bandmate Ricky Wilson, Nick started the Leeds club night Pigs "to give us something to look forward to", and after giving the rest of the band a mix CD with songs he had been playing at Pigs, they formed Kaiser Chiefs, scrapping all their old songs and changing "the way we play, the way we dress, basically everything we could change without changing... our faces"

Hodgson announced via his Twitter account on 4 December 2012, that he had left Kaiser Chiefs to concentrate on other projects.
