The Kaiser Chiefs will be making a series of North American live dates next year to promote their upcoming second album.
The Leeds based five-piece will play New York, Toronto, Chicago and San Francisco in April in what singer Ricky Wilson calls a “new crusade” to continue the inroads into the American market they made with debut LP ‘Employment’.
A typically modest Wilson says, “I can't think of many indie bands that have tried to take over the world - except us."
