Kaiser Chiefs Release 'Good Days Bad Days' Single & 2009 Tour Dates

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Motown Records) - Kaiser Chiefs, who released their third album 'Off With Their Heads' in October, follow up the Top 5 'Never Miss A Beat' with a new mix version of the album track 'Good Days Bad Days'.

Keyboardist Peanut was taken ill in Sao Paulo during the band's South American tour on 6 November. This caused him to miss a tour date in North America, a television appearance with John McCain and the video shoot for Good Days Bad Days. 'It's weird because I'm not in it. There's a little sign on my keyboard saying 'gone to hospital be back in five minutes',' he tells BBC Newsbeat. 'I'm there in spirit.' - Read the full interview at BBC Newsbeat.

The single, released on December 16th, 2008, features a new mix via the wizardry of Lexxx - whose credits range from the likes of Madonna and Gwen Stefani to Black Kids and Crystal Castles - and is available on CD b/w 'Addicted To Love' (Appendix 1) - a slower electronic version of the album track that the band recorded with Mark Ronson and Eliot James during the album sessions - 1-sided 7" vinyl and a digital bundle with the added bonus of 'Acting Up' and a Calvin Harris remix of 'Good Days Bad Days'.

Meanwhile, 'Live At Elland Road' has been released - the band's triumphant hometown show at Leeds United's football ground on DVD, which also features tracks from the band's appearance at the BBC Electric Proms in 2007.

The band, who have been in South America for a series of shows as well as a whistle stop tour of the States, return to the UK on the live front with a headline slot at this year's XFM Winter Wonderland at Brixton's Academy on December 2nd before heading out on a full UK tour in 2009.
