Few groups can brag of that they are obliged by the existence to a vodka bottle. One of such groups — Franz Ferdinand. So the vocalist and the guitarist of group Alex Kapranos and the guitarist McCart's Nickname — on a party in Glasgow in 2001 where Alex has come with a vodka bottle have got acquainted, and the Nickname has for some reason decided it to appropriate. Business hardly hasn't ended in a fight, while Alex, already had time to play in several rather known groups in Glasgow and searching for musicians for new structure, hasn't taken an interest, whether is able to play the Nickname the shock. The nickname has caught this chance to avoid fight and has told lies — though, being the contrabass player and the pianist with classical education, for shock didn't sit never. However, when the Floor has come to group Thompson playing on shock in group The Yummy Fur where Kapranos has at one time tied with the guitarist, and has announced that wants to play a guitar, the problem has dared by itself — the Floor has taken a place behind shock installation, and the Nickname took a guitar in hands. Has added the quartet the bass player Hard's familiar to all on Academy of Arts Bean where girl-friends of all participants of group of that time and where the Floor worked as the model studied. (Later the Floor asserted that in due time was in time naked for all girl-friends of the colleagues.) so collective Franz Ferdinand was born. All fans of world history I hasten to afflict - the collective has received the name not for the love of Frantsu Ferdinand killed to Sarajevo, and is simple called a horse on whom children have put during races and have appeared in a big prize.
