Nimes Festival, France
Roundup:
- I apologize that the Tuesday update is a little late. Oh well. It still got here, right?
- Three short videos, a smattering of photos, a pretty new shirt, and Japan! Getting closer to Australia, I see...
News
- A T In The Park review. [Read More.]
Interviews
- None.
Videos
- Three short clips of Alex and Nick performing an acoustic set on the 'Singstar Ship' at Benicassim. [One] [Two] [Three]
Twitter Updates
- : Back in Japan in November 09 - http://www.franzferdinand.co.uk/news
- This isn't from them, but it made me laugh:
"I bought a scanner off of eBay from Alex Kapranos' granddad. #lameclaimstofame" (source)
- This is just to note that I won't be posting updates from their individual twitter accounts. Two of them are easy enough to find and read if you're curious, one of them is locked, and one of them seems non-existent, but it just seems weird to post them here. So I'll leave you to it.
Photos
- One of Alex, performing at Glastonbury. [See More.]
- Benicassim photos. [See More.]
- More Benicassim photos. [See More.]
Tour Dates
- Just announced is an upcoming tour of Japan in November. Tickets go on sale August 22 (source). Dates:
Monday, November 9 - Tokyo
Wednesday, November 11 - Nagoya
Thursday, November 12 - Osaka
They'll be in Japan this Saturday (July 25) as well, taking part in the Fuji Rock Festival.
Other
- New shirt in the Franz Ferdinand web store. [View Image.] And just in case you were wondering, I am not opposed to anyone volunteering to buy this for me.
Check back later for Wednesday's update.
hey your updates are really amazing - thank you so much for sharing
ReplyDeletecan i just ask two quick questions - does bob have a twitter account, cause i would love to read what he says, and also is it possible to download the vids from kyte at all, cause sometimes my computer doesn't like playing them?
thanks so much, and again fantastic work!
becky
Hey Becky. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBob does have a twitter account, but in typical Bob fashion, it is very much locked. So unfortunately reading his updates are impossible.
The only way to download kyte videos is to rip them. If you have firefox, you can download an add on to do so, but if your computer doesn't like playing the video, it might not work. If you ever need a video ripped, I can probably help out, so just let me know.
Az of FF claims that one of Alex's grandfathers is dead, not saying that the other can't have a scanner though
ReplyDeleteAnyway, excellent work Sarah, you make it funny to read too
Hi Sarah! Thanks for your reply
ReplyDeletedamn about bob's twitter - i love his blogs, and he hasn't done one in forever... i tried searching him on twitter under all the names i could think of and it never came up with anything - i wonder what his mystery name is
