Glasgow's art-damaged rock quartet Franz Ferdinand --
named for the Austro-Hungarian Archduke whose murder
sparked World War I -- features bassist Bob Hardy,
guitarist Nick McCarthy, drummer Paul Thomson, and
singer/guitarist Alex Kapranos. In late 2001, Kapranos and
Hardy had begun working on music together when they met
McCarthy, a classically trained pianist and double bass
player who originally played drums for the group despite
no prior experience as a drummer. The trio had been
rehearsing at McCarthy's house for a while when they met
and started playing with Thomson, a former drummer for the
Yummy Fur who felt like playing guitar instead.
Eventually, McCarthy and Thomson switched to guitar and
drums, and the band switched practice spaces, stumbling
upon an abandoned warehouse that they named the Chateau.
The Chateau became Franz Ferdinand's headquarters, where
they rehearsed and held rave-like events incorporating
music and art (Hardy graduated from the Glasgow School of
Art, and Thomson also posed as a life model there). The
bandmembers needed a new rehearsal space once their
illicit art parties were discovered by the police, and
they found one in a Victorian courthouse and jail. By
summer 2002, they recorded an EP's worth of material that
they intended to release themselves, but word of mouth
about the band spread and Franz Ferdinand signed to Domino
in the summer of 2003. The group's EP Darts of Pleasure,
which led some to label Franz Ferdinand "the Scottish
Interpol," was released that fall, and the band spent the
rest of the year supporting groups such as Hot Hot Heat
and Interpol. Franz Ferdinand's second single, Take Me
Out, arrived in early 2004. The single propelled them to
greater popularity in the U.K. and laid the groundwork for
the band's debut album. Franz Ferdinand was released in
February 2004 in the U.K. and a month later stateside.
Franz Ferdinand's success followed them across the pond;
"Take Me Out" became a sizable modern rock hit, in part
thanks to the song's cutting-edge video, which earned the
Breakthrough Video award at that year's MTV Music Video
Awards. The group's momentum continued with the release of
the Michael single and their Mercury Prize win over such
artists as the Streets, Basement Jaxx, and Keane. Franz
Ferdinand released their second album, You Could Have It
So Much Better, in fall 2005. The bandmembers began
writing songs for their third album that year, but
scrapped them for a fresh set of songs that they planned
to make into a "dirty pop" concept album. Franz Ferdinand
tried out a few producers to help them go in a more dance
and pop-influenced direction, including Erol Alkan and
Xenomania, the production team behind many of Girls
Aloud's hits, before deciding on Dan Carey, who had worked
with Kylie Minogue, CSS, Hot Chip, and Lily Allen. The
song "Lucid Dreams" appeared on the soundtrack to Madden
NFL 09 and was released on iTunes in fall 2008; early in
2009, the single Ulysses arrived a week before the release
of Franz Ferdinand's third album, Tonight.
