Vaya Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 hmm caught the end of their set at carling acdemy suppoting funeral a few weeks ago-didn't think too much of them live but i only caught a tiny bit of their set-maybe they sound better on cd though??( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 They sound like a Television tribute band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allstardawn Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 i love franz ferdinand! i got their album for my birthday and it hasn't been out of my cd player since hehe. they're just so great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted February 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Well I'd recommend them. I'd heard about them from this very forum about 6 months ago or something (only remember because I asked if they were named after the famous Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand lol) and had looked out for any albums etc since. They then came to Kef was it? around christmas time and I was meant to be going but couldn't. Then, the album came out and Ive just gambled - getting the girlfriend to buy it for my Valentines day thing and it's ace. You should gamble too mate - it will pay off for sure if your anything like me lol Not sure about them being called the "British Strokes" though!

Guest The Voyeur Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 i saw them play the chateau in glasgow last month and was disappointed how they came across. i do like their funky pop vibe and 'take me out' was a fantastic indie-pop record. only when i saw them live they seemed so old, ugly and sadly bereft of a good wardrobe. no self respecting teenager would ever put franz ferdinand on their bedroom wall. they just came across as being very uninspring and i've always wanted more from a band than the attitude 'we want to make music for girls to dance to'...

Kai Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Isn't it great how when someone starts a music thread on The Wasteland people actually bother replying to it? Who'd have thought that people on this forum were capable of liking music! Makes you wonder what the other 600 music discussion forums on here are for. Keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fab Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 i think they are great. got a demo of 'tell her tonight' ages back and didnt hear anything more on them for a while but over the last few months they've just exploded - good advertising and word of mouth has ensured them the recognition they deserve. although clearly not totally original they are refreshing. the album is far better than i had expected, thought it might have more filler tracks than it does but was plesantly surprised to find its all top knotch! especially 'this fire' - track 7. as for 'the british strokes' i do disagree. they arent like the strokes in terms of music but are i suppose in the way they have grown in a similar way to the strokes - small gigs, word of mouth, nme support leading to where they are now.cant wait to see them in april. anyone else going to see them on tour?

Guest E.C Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Good band destined for big things, but I predict they'll also peak and drop off the face of the planet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I think if Flash turned up and posted that now, we'd think he was a bot, promoting some unknown band. Franz Ferdinand were the epitome of meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 They played in my Poland last week supporting The Killers. So they still exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
