it`s strange ...after concert halls with classical orchestras in London and LA down to dusty venues of a Rock Festival in East Europe ...

FFS: Franz Ferdinand and Sparks Team Up

10 years after the initial seed was planted by these two iconic bands to join forces in a bold, new creative endeavour, the fruits of this seemingly unlikely musical idea have finally been born. FFS. Franz Ferdinand and Sparks. Yes, For f***’s Sake!

The mutual admiration society between Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy, Bob Hardy, Paul Thomson, Ron Mael and Russell Mael has manifested itself in a striking new album produced by master producer John Congleton (he of St. Vincent and scads of others great artists’ fame).

And without further ado, FFS, is upping the ante with the announcement that they will be performing live. FFS: Franz Ferdinand and Sparks together in concert. It’s true.

For f***’s Sake!

Maybe the idea was to play the Gig where there is no heavy traditional Fan Base . Seeing how it goes in front of a Largely neutral Audience .. Letting the Music do the Talking.. Then Taking it From there..

I guess the Franz Ferdinand fan base will be there anyway...
I have seen photos of the venue with mud on the ground etc.,
so I will not be there, that`s for sure...

But of course there will be other single ffs concerts all over
Europe and the world at the usual venues ff played before
