New Kaiser Chiefs - "Ruby"

In prep for their "NME Presents The Kaiser Chiefs" spring US tour, singer Ricky Wilson told the rag:

I can't think of many indie bands that have tried to take over the world...except us, so its just common sense to hook up with NME for a US Tour to launch Kaiser Chiefs’ new crusade on America.
Sure, Employment made waves with its hooks-to-drink-to and "Modern Way" new wave ... but world domination? We smell a Killer. Well they're finally ramping up for Round 2, and the first single "Ruby" is available for your enjoyment at NeilesLife. The Smiths are in there, and they're going for another big-drinking hook. You with it?

Yours Truly, Angry Mob is scheduled for release on 3/27 in the US.

UPDATE: Here's a nice, clean stream for ya.

Kaiser Chiefs - "Ruby" (QT | Real | Win Media)

Enjoy.

Sheffield's finest getting a mention? I didn't realise they'd even been to the states. Hopefully the next album will have more than four interesting songs on it. They don't seem to realise that some of us like a bit of rhythm...

The Kaiser Chiefs cover of I Heard it Through the Grapevine is amazing: http://hype.non-standard.net/track/182393

Oh no. Please don't let them go down the disappointing second album route of The Killers by first overstating said album's importance in the world.

Yeah I like them alright...but wish they would go ahead and admit to being a mid-90s era Blur cover band :)

"Ruby lives in a house, a very big house in the Coun-try..."

They are from Leeds...

Is it just me who can hear a touch of Pink Floyd in there?
