After watching YouTube-clips from the concert in Stockholm I have to say Unaware has turned into quite an anthem with the full band treatment.

Dug his Ode-lay album in the mid 90s. Devil's Haircut and Where It's At were fun songs.

Will there be a Hippopotamas Tour DVD in 2018?

In reality, I think the professionally shot gigs from Glasgow and Berlin currently on Youtube are enough to satisfy most people's needs. I'd love to b ...

Just read on the Flow website that the huge "Sparks tent" was closed after their performance and needed repair. All performances on outdoor stages were cancelled due to the weather. Whew, th ...

QOTSA are playing a festival August 11-13 in San Francisco, which means Michael Schuman won't be in Helsinki. 🙁

Helsinki it is. Will be interesting to experience Sparks at a festival. Sadly, can't make the Stockholm gig, which I suspect will be a longer set than Helsinki.

The MM guys are great. The backing vox are gonna be killer. Nistor is a monster drummer. I believe QOTSA have been in the studio recently with Summer gigs coming up. Could be why they've got an extra ...

Suns & Beaches, "Outsmarted".

It's a brand-new song from my own band. Might as well plug it right here. A bit Sparks-like in places, perhaps. Enjoy.

Check out the playlist called Sparks By Franz Ferdinand on Spotify. Features both Achoo and SH along with some other slightly surprising, but nonetheless great choices.

I think it's wise to keep the old repertoire to a minimum as they're trying to establish a new band/sound.

Loved the gig. They seem so happy on stage . There 's this aura of relief coming from Ron in the recent interviews . Like he's finally found his dream band.
