busybeeburns Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I think NME are late with this news Franz Ferdinand to make live comeback with 'secret' Spanish gigs Band to play trio of shows in November, but won't reveal the venues Franz Ferdinand are set to play a trio of 'secret' gigs in Spain. The band will make their live comeback next month, and have confirmed the dates, cities and supports for their shows, but not the locations. The venues will not be confirmed until the day of each gig. So far the band have confirmed they will play Barcelona with Dinero on November 4, San Sebastian with Igloo on November 6 and Malaga with The Bleach on November 8. There will be 600 pairs of tickets for each show.

a-chan Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Cryptic twitter msgs from Alex: alkapranos I have to apologise to everyone in Mexico for the cancelled DJ gigs. All I can say at the moment is it is because of recording commitments. alkapranos Nick and I only have a limited amount of time to work - for very positive reasons which will become clear. alkapranos I'll come back later in the year & make it up to you. The support from everyone in Mexico has always been phenomenal & we all appreciate it. alkapranos ...Or make a new record! I'll come back only when we've done that. :awesome: this smells writing sessions with Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiick :awesome: :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-chan Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I wonder when we can expect LP4?

oldmuckers Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 at last... some news! from billboard: The idea of making a dirty pop record -- this is what has been on our minds," Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos tells Billboard.com of the band's ongoing studio sessions in Glasgow. A new, as-yet-untitled album is expected from the group this summer via Epic. "It's the opposite of punk/pop, which took something that was wonderful and removed all the dirt," Kapranos says. The approach is best-heard on "Ride Together," a "full-on upbeat, riding across the desert rock song. A lot of the other stuff is more rhythm- and dance-based," he says. After demoing material in Glasgow, the group intended to record the album in a proper studio in London. But after trial sessions there, "we decided the ones we did in Glasgow sounded much better," according to Kapranos. "There was a real dirtiness, edge and attitude." "We've decided we're going to do it up here, ourselves," he continues. "It's funny, because logically everything is wrong. We should go to a big studio and spend millions. But logic is never appropriate when you're making music. You've gotta trust your instincts. This stuff made us want to get up and dance." Aiding the band's new sonic endeavors are some old Russian synthesizers. "We found this thing called a Polyvox, built by a Russian engineer in the late '70s," Kapranos says. "He'd heard what a Moog was and had heard the sounds, but had no idea how to make one. He worked out how it would be made and made his version of what he thought a synth would be." He concludes, "For me, the imperfections are what makes it perfect, like the cheapest, shittiest guitars through practice amps." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Nip 2 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This band is great! Any news on the new album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintergreen Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Looks like the latest thing up above your post is it so far. I've not heard anything new. If that bit that oldmuckers posted is any indication, though, I'm looking very forward to the new album. I'm quite intrigued about this "dirty pop". And I will make a note to try and see them when they tour again, too. They're another band I've yet to see live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
