Franz Ferdinand

Kings of Leon – great but we had unfortunately hit a tired point of the day so were sat at the back of the stadium and the atmosphere wasn’t there. More family here, with two brothers and a cousin from Nashville. The brothers were sons of a preacher man so their childhood was spent on the road and in churches. Music described as garage rock, boozy blues, rootsy riffs and a dash of country! Their first album was released in 2003.

Franz Ferdinand – FAB, as usual!!
FF are big in Australia too, taking the number 1 spot in the hottest 100 chart of 2005 for Take Me Out. Described as ‘the band who make rock music you can dance to’, FF arrived in early 2004 and sold over a million copied of their self-titled debut. New album is equally as good. We got quite near the front to watch them and it was worth it, they are great to watch live. I didn’t realise they were all actually born in England, but Alex lived in Greece for most of his childhood and Nick lived in Germany until he was 16.
