[edit] Music video
The promo for "Ruby" was directed by Swedish production company Stylewar, who also produced the 2005 video for "I Predict a Riot", and features the band performing in a desert landscape whilst a CGI metropolis-like city builds around them. The video was scheduled to be shown on Channel 4 at 11:35pm on January 15, but was pulled from the schedules for currently unknown reasons. The video finally premiered on the official Kaiser Chiefs website four days later.
