I'll probably never see them live. ): I guess I'll just have to settle for their brilliant albums. :) Btw, any news on the 4th?

That sucks. :sad:

 

A couple of weeks back, I read that Alex and Nick are working on new songs again, but nothing official/exciting/particularly interesting.

Hello! I need a photo of the whole band for my Ipod. Any suggestion?

I love that photo.

 

Guess what...my mum used to work beside Alex Kapranos in Anniesland college, that is SOOOOO cool.

And do they talk? Men you could meet him! If that was my mother I'd have praied to meet him ! jajajaja

Lol, it often doesn't work like that.

 

 

Still really cool though. :wacky:

My mom hasn't a job as cool as that... :confused: Working with Alex must have been fun! He seems to be a nice and merry lad!

Well you know I'm starting to get in touch with this band and I've "discovered" this song...

Love how make up fits in them... But, Alex reminds me of Matt Bellamy of Muse in that video don't know why... specially in 0.35 min.

I Love this song and live it's just mindblowing!! I jumped/screamed a lot on that one... :rolleyes:

Lots of songs tend to have that effect though. :P

 

 

They opened with This Fire in November. :heart:

It's a good song to start and to get the people excited from the very beginning

HI!!! One question, is the song fade together sung by Alex? I think so but the voice is a bit different!

I love the song! Really Beautiful... do they play it in conerts?

I love the second photo....

 

It's a very very beautiful song and the voice is so warm.... "Berlin I love you..." Ohhh! I have my own idea of what's the song meaning but some people say that to do that things, as try to find a meaning in the songs, is a really silly thing because they DO NOT have meaning... I don't think so..

 

Well is very charming and if you hear it low, it's as if he sang it near you... hahahha....

Yep, that's Alex. :nice: I albsolutely LOVE the piano in this song (it's in Eleanor and Katherine as well). Dunno if they play it at concerts anymore, but at the concert I attended they played only 3 songs off YCHISMB.

 

There is actually a song Nick sings:

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick *favorite Franz*

 

 

sorry for this post :rolleyes:

Tell her tonight is sung by Nick?

Tell her tonight is sung by Nick?

 

according to wiki: "Tell Her Tonight" (lead vocals performed by Nick McCarthy (verses) and Alex Kapranos (chorus, bridge))

 

:heart:

I never noticed that. :') But to be honest, Tell Her Tonight is one of my least favourite songs from the début.

I like it, it sound a bit like The Kinks (Lola) jajajaja.... All the first album is really good.

they were here a few days ago and I couldn´t go :shame:

From Mr Kapranos in an itw BB6 Music

 

"I've been round at Nick's and we've been writing some things, and

trying to do things in a different way again," he explained. "You'll

hear it before too long."

 

Kapranos added that he was a touch wary about revealing too much about the writing sessions this early on, however.

 

"Before

the last record I talked far too much about it," he said, "as we had

the ideas and I made a vow that I wasn't going to say anything about

what we are actually doing until we've done it, and then wait about

another three weeks."

 

Franz Ferdinand are set to tour Australia from the end of this month, followed by some South American live dates.

 

:awesome: writing sessions with Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick :dance:
