Alex Interview
Glasgow rockers Franz Ferdinand know how to sauce things up, writes Bernard Zuel.
Did Franz Ferdinand bring sex to the world in 2009?

''I think there was sex already in the world,'' singer and co-writer (with guitarist Nick McCarthy) of the Glasgow rock band, Alex Kapranos, laughs.
Ah, that may be true, but there is a strong suspicion that those who heard Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, the third album from the group rounded out by bass player Bob Hardy and drummer Paul Thompson, may have been inspired to go on and put some of those salacious rhythms and saucy inferences to the test.
''I hope so, I hope so,'' Kapranos says. ''It would be good to bring joy to people's lives.''
Now, of course, if you think sex you may think sin. Or, to paraphrase Woody Allen, only if you're doing it right. But thoughts of sin bring up something that rarely gets a run in interviews with Kapranos - his stint at the School of Divinity at Aberdeen University. Doesn't that naturally flow from sex?
''Hmm, there wasn't a lot of that at divinity school,'' he says. ''When I was 17 I left school and wanted to go to university, wanted to do philosophy. I already had passed my Highers [equivalent of the HSC] but I'd failed maths so didn't get in. My insurance offer was divinity so I did that for a year instead.
''I kind of enjoyed it in some ways but it wasn't for me. I was a 17-year-old kid and most of the people there were middle-aged guys who decided they wanted to be ministers in the Church of Scotland.''
He pauses and then adds with exaggerated philosophical tone: ''I guess we had different things that we wanted from life.''
Kapranos's ''other things'' saw him go to university in Glasgow to study arts (and catering!), playing in bands and booking bands like Belle and Sebastian to play at the uni. It led eventually to teaching Belle and Sebastian fan Hardy to play bass and talking him into joining this new band. The group has since won the Mercury Prize for 2004's self-titled album and two Brit Awards, including best British rock act. But what a loss to the ministry!
That gets me wondering if Kapranos had encountered any members of the Wee Wee Frees, the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland known for being a severely strict, austere branch of the protestant movement. It's fair to say you don't see many of them at a Franz Ferdinand gig.
All in all, it's a miserable world which could do with some disco rock, some sex and some Franz Ferdinand, a band that nearly broke up after their second album, even as they filled arenas globally. Internal misery saw the once-tight partners, Kapranos and McCarthy, barely speaking for a time.
But when the band was in Australia last year, Kapranos told the Herald that things had not just been patched up but were improved, helped by staying out of the spotlight and rebuilding relationships. The truth of that was in the freshness of Tonight, an album almost frisky in its energy.
They've already got a stock of songs for album No.4. So will we hear some of them on the upcoming shows? It seems not. ''With Tonight we were very open and public about the writing process and how everything evolved and changed. As soon as we had an idea for a song, we played it at a little gig, knowing that the fans would be there, filming it and put it up on YouTube. But this time … I want that to take place in secret, as it were, and for the world to see it when it completely appears.''
The result of the pre-Tonight policy was a flurry of stories that it would be full of Afrobeat or glossy pop, which amused, then annoyed, the band: ''I don't think I want people to see us working our way to that [finished] point any more.''
It's too late. From this story it will be obvious that the next album will draw heavily from Wee Wee Frees.
That means plainsong, no iconography and much less sex for the world.
