About the band 关于乐队
Franz Ferdinand 弗朗茨•斐迪南
Glasgow's rock quartet Franz Ferdinand features bassist Bob Hardy, guitarist Nick McCarthy, drummer Paul Thomson, and singer/guitarist Alex Kapranos.
格拉斯哥的摇滚乐四人合唱团“弗朗茨•斐迪南”的成员包括贝司手鲍勃•哈代、吉他手尼克•麦卡锡、鼓手保罗•汤姆森和歌手兼吉他手亚历克斯•普瑞诺斯。
The Chateau, an abandoned warehouse, became Franz Ferdinand's headquarters, where they rehearsed and held rave-like events incorporating music and art. The band members 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 single Darts of Pleasure was released that fall, and the band spent the rest of the year supporting playing live. Franz Ferdinand's second single, Take Me Out, arrived in early 2004 as did their debut album, Franz Ferdinand. Take Me Out became a sizeable modern rock hit and 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.
“城堡”这座废弃的仓库成了“弗朗茨•斐迪南乐队”的大本营，他们在那里排练并举办一些兼有音乐和艺术元素、类似狂欢的活动。当他们违法的艺术聚会被警察发现后，乐队成员需要找一个新的排练场地，一家毗邻监狱的维多利亚时期法院成了他们的栖身之所。2002年夏，他们录制了满满一张密纹唱片的歌曲，他们原打算自己发行，但人们对该乐队的谈论越来越多，于是“弗朗茨•斐迪南乐队”在2003年夏与多米诺唱片公司签了约。同年秋天，乐队发行了一首单曲《Darts of Pleasure》，随后的时间里，乐队一直在为现场演唱会做暖场演出。2004年初，与首张专辑《弗朗茨•斐迪南》一道，“弗朗茨•斐迪南乐队”发行了第二支单曲《Take Me Out》。《Take Me Out》成为一支销量可观的现代摇滚乐畅销曲，并在是年举行的“MTV音乐录像带奖”评选中赢得了“最具创意音乐录像带奖”。随着单曲《Michael》的发行，乐队的上升势头依然不减。
