Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand, just say the words... fun isn't it? Well they headlined the show at the Memorial the other night along with Death Cab for Cutie and The Cribs. Very pop, very fun, very high energy, very eye candy! I originally thought the headliner was Death Cab for Cutie and so it appeared on the press badge too but it seems they are flip flopping show by show as to who will headline... and in some cases I'm told it has to do with who is selling more records that day, that week. I guess they are calling it co-headliners. Interesting.
Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos kicks his leg up during the performance, which is oddly reminiscent of David Bowie on an old album cover-- The Man who Sold the World. Kapranos has incredible stage presence and a glossy larger than life look that hooked me right in!
