	Franz Ferdinand (band)
		The album, Franz Ferdinand, was released in early 2004, debuting at #3 in the UK Albums Chart in February 2004 and at #12 in the Australian album charts in April 2004.
		Franz Ferdinand covered the LCD Soundsystem song "All My Friends" which appeared as a B-side on the single, and is also working on an album of Sparks covers, collaborating with the group on the recordings.
		After seeing the horse run on television the band began to discuss Archduke Franz Ferdinand and thought it would be a good band name because of the sound of the name and the implications of the Archduke's death (his assassination was a significant factor in the lead up to World War I).

		Their stated ambition is to erase the Archduke Franz Ferdinand from the annals of history and replace him in the collective consciousness with themselves.
		Yes, the emergence of Franz Ferdinand is extremely exciting - in fact, I've not been this enthusiastic about the emergence of any band in the last five years (with the possible exception of The Coral).
		Unfortunately (at least at present), the latter band have so far failed to live up to the promise of their debut and currently seem to be doomed to repeat their debut album, each time less risky, each time not quite as good.

		Such arcane concerns are immaterial to Franz Ferdinand, the most successful, flamboyant and downright Franztastic Scottish band of our times, as they come roaring back with a second album of insouciant pop brilliance without, it seems, so much as a fringe out of place.
		The last band to find themselves in that unenviable position were The Strokes, darlings of the public and the press, who reinvigorated the pop scene with their debut Is This It, much as Franz did a couple of years later.
		Franz Ferdinand will not be caught going down that road.

		The Scottish band named after the Austrian archduke whose assassination sparked World War I. I still don't understand why the band is named the way it is, but oh well.
		Franz Ferdinand chose their name after watching a horse race with a competitor called Archduke.
		A band that apparently worked themselves into the ground, tearing their hair out in an effort to ensure they didn't waste the momentum they'd built up with their debut album.
