[DID NOT ATTEND: April 8, 2025] Franz Ferdinand / Telescreens
I seem to have bad luck when it comes to Franz Ferdinand. In 2022 they played Philly the same night that I had tickets to see Elvis Costello. This year, they played Philly on the same night that I had tickets to two other shows (Mogwai and John Grant).
I did get to see them last year when they co-headlined with Pixies. And they were great! I would really like to see them again. But I’d rather have seen the other two above mentioned bands.
Either way, it was moot since my wife had surgery and I was staying home regardless.
Telescreens are based out of New York, Their bio says their:
sound is classic rock with a twist, made unique by their alternative addition of keys and synth. They put on high energy live shows that bring the house down.
And the photo shows someone in the and jumping very high in the air. They sound like they’d be a blast live. The little bit I listened to sounded pretty good–simple but rocking with weird sounds sprinkled in.
