Franz Ferdinand Information

Franz Ferdinand Information Continued

Franz Ferdinand has released seven singles, a double single and a video-clip-only single, of which "Take Me Out", "The Dark of the Matinee" and "Do You Want To" were top 10 hits in the UK. Franz Ferdinand are influenced by 1980s post-punk, garage rock and new wave and are currently exploring the world of hip hop for inspiration on how to improve their production techniques.

In early 2005, Kanye West declared Franz Ferdinand to be his favourite band and coined the term white crunk to describe the band's gritty drum sounds. West and the band met at the 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards, where they sat down together to share praise and advice. West feels that the white crunk vibe has affected his new work, and is best exemplified on the track "Diamonds from Sierra Leone", from his 2005 album Late Registration. Franz Ferdinand are also greatly influenced by West and sought advice from him on how to improve production for their 2005 album You Could Have It So Much Better. Rapper Snoop Dogg has also declared an admiration for the band, and famously expressed interest in collaborating with the group.

Franz Ferdinand spent much of 2005 in the studio in Scotland working on their follow-up album, You Could Have It So Much Better, which was released on 3 October 2005. In 2006, Franz Ferdinand and Death Cab for Cutie embarked on a joint-headline tour.
