Scottish indie rock titans Franz Ferdinand brought their signature blend of sharp-edged guitar riffs and danceable rhythms to a packed house at Zepp Tokyo on November 19, 2013. This high-definition broadcast captures the band in peak form, delivering a powerful and polished performance for their enthusiastic Japanese audience.
Touring in support of their fourth studio album, 'Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action,' released just a few months prior, the band delivered a setlist that perfectly balanced new material with beloved classics. The show was a masterclass in energy, weaving fresh tracks like 'Evil Eye' and 'Right Action' alongside the iconic anthems that first catapulted them to global fame.
From the explosive opening of 'Bullet' to the undeniable swagger of 'Do You Want To,' frontman Alex Kapranos commanded the stage with his trademark charisma. The extensive 22-song performance, including a five-song encore, featured massive hits like 'Take Me Out,' 'The Dark of the Matinée,' and 'Ulysses,' proving why Franz Ferdinand remain one of the most exciting live acts in modern rock.
