Franz Ferdinand have named their third album ‘Tonight’.
Making the revelation at a show a few nights ago, the band also previewed six new songs during the intimate show, including opener ‘Bite Hard’, ‘Turn It On’ and ‘Katherine, Kiss Me’. Other new tracks were performed included ‘Ulysses’ and ‘What She Came For’, which is the rumoured lead single from ‘Tonight’. The new material went down a storm with the capacity crowd.
The new album is called ‘Tonight’ because it’s “music of the night” Kapranos stated after the show. “It's music of the night, so it seems like the most appropriate title. It suggests a performance too” he said. “I can picture a marquee outside a theatre saying 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand', there's a sense of anticipation. It's music for the dancefloor, your bedroom as you psyche yourself up to go out, a stranger's bedsit coming down an hour before dawn.”
The Dan Carey-produced album was completed just last week and is the follow-up to 2005’s ‘You Could Have It So Much Better’.
Franz Ferdinand setlist looked something like this:
‘Bite Hard’
‘Michael’
‘Tell Her Tonight’
‘Turn It On’
‘Matinee’
‘Send Him Away’
‘The Fallen’
‘Katherine, Kiss Me’
