Franz Ferdinand - March 2018

Franz Ferdinand played a barnstorming set in Zurich on 11 March 2018, leaving the audience beaming and sweaty as temperatures in the Halle 622 soared to new heights. Mixing their angular guitar riffs with dance floor beats, they had the crowd jumping, dancing and cheering. New album Always Ascending added electronica, funk and glam to the proceedings, and frontman Alex Kapranos kept energy levels high throughout.

Before the concert, Anna talked to drummer Paul Thomson about Franz Ferdinand's beginnings, the process of recording Always Ascending, and why Spinal Tap is a thoroughly depressing film.
