Of course, you’re going to find their early triumphs “Take Me Out” and “Do You Want To” nestled in there, when the classic lineup of Kapranos, Bob Hardy, Paul Thomson, and Nick McCarthy were crafting some of the sexiest, suavest earworms in the genre at the time.
TYPOGRAPHY USED IN FRANZ FERDINAND BAND FULL
“And that is absolutely one of the most frustrating feelings in the world.”įranz Ferdinand - indie lads, not archduke - is now two full decades into their history, enough so that Hits to the Head, a buoyant greatest-of album, will be released on March 11. The nerve! I just want to finally listen to “The Dark of the Matinée” as our sonic overlords intended, you know? “Being a big record hunter, especially on tour in America, I always hunt out records,” he responded with a laugh. When I signed onto a Zoom call with Alex Kapranos a few weeks ago, I joked how his band put me in a dispiriting mood the day prior: I had long been in pursuit of a clean Franz Ferdinand vinyl to enhance my collection, only to go through the five stages of grief when a local shop tried to pass off a scratched record as mint condition.

Personal life Many of you in Glasgow will already know what an incredible musician Audrey Tait is and we’re thrilled to have her join us. įranz Ferdinand announced Tait's arrival by saying, "After having played with Paul for so long, it’s obvious that not just anyone could sit behind the kit in FF, so we’re happy to say that one of the other best drummers in the world is joining us. On 29 September 2021, the first concert they played together was a fashion show for Balmain, a gig she described as "a bit ridiculous for us all." The first song the band released with Tait was "Billy Goodbye," from its greatest hits album Hits to the Head, which came out in March 2022. Thomson came to the first rehearsals to help Tait acclimate herself to the drum parts. Franz Ferdinand Īfter Thomson told Franz Ferdinand that he was leaving the band in September 2021, the band's Julian Corrie offered Tait a chance to be Thomson's replacement. In 2014, she made it to the finals of Hit Like a Girl, an international contest for female drummers. While in Hector Bizerk, Tait began producing other artists. Their next album, The Waltz of Modern Psychiatry, was also nominated for album of the year. Their second album, Nobody Seen Nothing, was nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year Award in 2014, and were named Best Hip Hop Act at that year's Scottish Alternative Music Awards. Tait produced and mixed all the band's releases. As the band's sound and ambition got richer, it became a four-piece, adding a bassist and keyboardist. Hector Bizerk started in 2011 as a two-piece band, featuring rapper Louie Boy and Tait on drums. She also performs in the synthpop duo The Girl Who Cried Wolf, the folk rock duo The Miss's, and in the scoring partnership Novasound, which scores and produces theater and film soundtracks in Glasgow. She replaced Paul Thomson in Franz Ferdinand, receiving a symbolic set of drumsticks from him in October 2021. She is known for being the drummer in three Glaswegian bands, the experimental hip-hop group Hector Bizerk, Broken Chanter, and the rock band Franz Ferdinand. Audrey Tait (born 1987) is a Scottish musician and music producer from Rutherglen, Scotland.
