Kasisers try to shore up Idaho
The somewhat reckless dismissal of America as "no big deal" by Ricky Wilson when the Kaiser Chiefs pulled their US tour has led to some worries backstage. Now, though, a "spokesperson" has "clarified" what Wilson meant:
"What he meant was that we care about all our fans in every part of the world the same.
"We go to the US for the fans - not the money or because we love long-haul. But sometimes you have to let people down."
"We go to the US for the fans - not the money or because we love long-haul. But sometimes you have to let people down."
Ah, yes - "no big deal" in the "we care about you" sense of the phrase. Thanks for clearing that one up.

Amusingly, I spoke to a promoter/journo friend in LA the other day and he said without me prompting that he'd just heard that the Kaisers had cancelled their tour as they'd sold only sold a (literal) handful of tickets at all of the venues. Teehee.
But, Jamie, they do care about all of their American fans. They probably know them by name...
Be interesting to know the size of the venues they were booked to play.
Since you ask, the Chapel Hill Memorial Hall is a 1624 seater, the Dallas House of Blues is about 1600 seats, but the Beacon theatre in New York seats nearly twice that.
