Franz Ferdinand are a rock band from Glasgow formed in 2002 consisting of Alex Kapranos (lead vocals and guitar), Bob Hardy (bass guitar), Nick McCarthy (rhythm guitar, keyboards and backing vocals) and Paul Thomson (drums, percussion, guitar and backing vocals).
They achieved great success early on in their career with their second single ‘Take Me Out’ reaching number 3 in the UK charts. In their lifetime as a band they have released four full length albums and have a number of awards under their belts including a Mercury Prize, NME Awards for ‘Best Track’, ‘Best Live Band’ and ‘Best Group as well as two Brit Awards. Clearly a lot of success from four musicians from Glasgow.
Throughout their career they’ve been known to play at many Summer Festivals including Scotland’s very own T in the Park where they always attract a large crowd. Scotland love to see home-grown talent doing well which is one of the reasons they have so many local fans.
