I realize I’m a bit behind on posting the latest Franz Ferdinand video, but I really didn’t want to bombard you with every move they make the second after they make it (to be honest, I’m really not that on top of it anyway). . . so I figured why not today then? Yes, why not. So, without further ado, here’s the latest video for their track “No You Girls” off their third album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. It’s pretty cool as it was filmed where it was originally recorded – and it’s the infamous song with human bones tap tap tapping in the background. Scary. 

The Glaswegian quartet is currently on tour, so check them out! And remember, these gents like to see their tour stop cities via bicycle, so keep your peepers peeled for these rockers tooling around on two wheels!

Check out Franz Ferdinand’s new single “Ulysses” off their upcoming third album Tonight. It’s got their driving, funky back beats I love and a new futuristic flare they can definitely pull off. Can’t wait for the full length album now, especially after hearing this gem. It sounds like they’ve reinvented themselves in a fresh new way, but also didn’t forget what it is that they do best. Dance rock!
