The band will only be making three North American stops -- Austin, Tx; Mexico CIty; and New York, NY -- otherwise, they have cancelled all their shows in North America, citing a need to work on new material before their UK and European shows at the end of the year.

The albums, according to Xfm, represent the most influential of that year -- in each of the past ten years.

It's been a while since Ricky Wilson and company have found a reason to complain about something, but I knew the day would come again. At least this time, it makes sense....

The band has put two signed albums on eBay -- a copy of each of their releases -- to support the Global Fund to Fight AIDS. It may not seem like they donated much, but it does come with a certificate of authenticity....

And another out-there, possible title of their new album is...What # of $ Do That Cost?.

The band has announced an arena tour this November and December, making the rounds of UK arenas for their biggest tour to date.

Lily Allen is featured on the song, and both she and the Kaiser Chiefs appear in this video.

Ronson will also release a cover of the Kaiser Chiefs song "Oh My God" on July 16th. The song is a collaboration between Ronson and Lily Allen.

The Kaiser Chiefs singer, who is also known for his hatred of cars, and just about every other band on earth, is campaigning to have inflatable toys banned at the 02 Wireless Festival. No, really.
