Kaiser Chiefs - Never Miss A Beat

3 months ago 08th Aug 12:36

Released October 6

Already an established live favourite, 'Never Miss a Beat' is the first track to be lifted off the band's third album 'Off With Their Heads' and sees a band emerging from the obvious 'pop' sensibility of their catalogue, 'Never Miss A Beat' enters the fray under a barrage of guitar squall backed with a keyboard led refrain coupled with a sound that veers away from previous outings...it's a record of intent!

Having decided that they were going to release and EP in the autumn of this year, Kaiser Chiefs retired to the rehearsal room, only to emerge weeks later with a batch of songs they had chosen to record. It was only once they had started to record the tracks that they then realised that perhaps it maybe an idea to scupper the EP and do an album's worth instead....

The band consequently hooked up with Mark Ronson and worked on the new songs both up in Leeds and down in London, several of the tracks they had planned for the album including 'Never Miss A Beat'  had been played live since the band's sold out UK Arena tour last Winter.  

'Never Miss A Beat' featuring Lily Allen and New York Pony Club on backing vocals   is released on October 6th and available on CD b/w and 7" vinyl b/w through B-Unique / Polydor.

Kaiser Chiefs kick off their UK tour in their hometown of Leeds tonight, and go on to play: 8th October - Leeds Academy 13th October - Manchester Academy 15th October - Southampton Guildhall 16th October - Reading Rivermead 17th October - Glasgow Barrowlands 19th October - Leicester De Montford Hall 20th October - London Kentish Town Forum 21st October - London Kentish Town Forum
