Franz Ferdinand’s leader is going to write the musical

Franz Ferdinand’s frontman Alex Kapranos is considering writing his own musical. The group has just finished the work on the soundtrack for the movie Hallam Foe, and, according to Kapranos’ words, he is interested in taking on something bigger.

«I'd like to write a musical. Who knows? Maybe I'll write one for the stage rather than for film», supposed he.

But it is plans for the future, and at the moment Franz Ferdinand are working on their third album. Kapranos added that the new record will have some interesting sounds. «The strangest instrument we've been using is an old Russian synthesiser built from spare parts in the Cold War», said Alex.
