Franz Ferdinand
Metro * Chicago IL — Franz Ferdinand! Not just for archdukes any more, they proved yet again that a superior rhythm section does a great band usually make. I haven't seen a Metro crowd that electrified in a long time. In two or three new non-album songs I heard the family resemblance to the Talking Heads, a comparison often made but one I didn't get until then. Geek chic was definitely in effect throughout. They were a lot of fun; a first-rate show.
