Simmie Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 I managed to get tickets on ticketweb, but date says 15 September not the 19th which is what FF have on their website???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 ooh, sweet. this should be good fun. local support?I reckon if they're only doing it in Scotland, they'll bring some friends from Glasgow to play. I managed to get tickets on ticketweb, but date says 15 September not the 19th which is what FF have on their website????I know, I was concerned about that, but if they're in Iceland on the 14th, I think Ticketweb's just made a mistake. They're better in a smaller environment. I went down to see one of their wee shows in Glasgow last month and it was excellent. It was really good 'cos the crowd was made up of actual fans rather than people waiting for the "hits". The new songs are fantastic too. Much more synthy than before, but it works and you can see they're not just jumping on the resurrected synth bandwagon. Later attended the after-party where Bob, Andy, Alex and Nick were in attendance and an after after-party party at my friend's flat with Mr Kapranos. Spoke to him quite a bit, but nothing about Franz, mostly about his production of the Cribs' brilliant new album, he's genuinely one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Not at all an arrogant prick as you might expect! In conclusion(!) I can't fucking wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKMartin Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Anyone know who's supporting tonight?So I can decide whether to watch the first half of the Rangers game before going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Opinions on last night's performance?I think I saw half of a song by the support band, I can't remember their name...The new Franz Ferdinand songs sounded pretty cool, especially liking the squelchy 80's synth sounds and some snazzy Dancing Queen piano on one of the songs. There was that one that had the astro jazz middle bit, which didn't quite sound right.Kapranos was wearing some pretty shiney shoes.I wasn't too sure about all the guitar posturing and rawk cliches that were on display during the gig...

framheim Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 pretty solid performance i thought. new songs were pretty good and they played all the favourites. i liked the posturing and rock poses too, but i'm a sucker for that. the sound was a bit ropey and i still don't get why people sing football songs for the encore.

AKMartin Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Overall I enjoyed it. Some great songs, old and new. New song about "Ulysses" is a belter."Stand free" is always a bit embarrassing, and I was irked by the semi-dangerous rush for the door at the end, but the show itself was good (if a little murky) and the crowd were in decent form.

kirsten Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 My friends Andy and Patrick are in Sexy Kids [www.myspace.com/sexierkids]They're good, really, but they've only got a few songs and only played a few gigs together before as this group (Patrick, Roxanne and Gronald are in the Royal We and Andy used to be in Bricolage) and only agreed to support that day. Half an hour before the gig, I found out and did a happy-dance Franz-wise: It was good hearing Turn It On again as it's friggen catchy as hell! And it's always nice to see big bands play small venues, especially if they really do well there like Franz do. I'm glad they've got to where they are though, they're one of those bands that definitely deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 where are sexy kids from and how did they get the support for franz ferdinand if they've only done a couple of shows beforehand? not that i'm saying they didn't deserve, it's just quite a big support for a new band. and i'm a little jealous.
