Kaiser Chiefs bring 'Angry Mob' to North America

Brit-pop rockers Kaiser Chiefs will return to North America in April to support their upcoming sophomore album, "Yours Truly, Angry Mob," which is due in March.

Following tours of Europe, Japan and Australia, Kaiser Chiefs will hit American soil starting April 6 in Philadelphia and play East Coast and West Coast cities plus a few dates in Canada. The current schedule has the band wrapping things up April 29 at the Coachella Festival in Indio, CA. However, according to their website, Kaiser Chiefs still plan to add shows in Nashville and Dallas, and play a festival or two.

New York indie band The Walkmen will fill the support slot for all American dates with indie-pop groups Annuals and The Little Ones opening on select shows. The North American itinerary is listed below and international dates can be found at Kaiser Chiefs' website.

Advance tickets for the tour, sponsored by British music magazine NME, will be available starting tomorrow (1/24) at NME's website. Tickets can be purchased through traditional outlets starting Jan. 27.

Kaiser Chiefs' new album follows its debut, 2005's "Employment," which thrust the band into the limelight, winning it slots on major festivals, not to mention three Brit Awards last year. Songs from that record are streaming at the band's website and MySpace page.

"Ruby," the first single from "Yours Truly, Angry Mob," debuted on radio earlier this month.
