Kaiser Chiefs - Good Days Bad Days

Release date: 15-12-2008

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.”

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”.
