A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to see one of my favorite bands, Franz Ferdinand, perform in concert here in NYC at the Roseland Ballroom in mid-town. This Scottish quartet is best known for their hit, "Take Me Out," from a few years ago, but their most recent album, Tonight, has been rocking my MP3 player ever since it came out many moons ago. In particular, the song "Lucid Dreams," which morphs from rock to dance music during it's ten minute playing time, is one of my favorite new songs.

During their live set they performed a generous helping of new songs, mixed with some older favorites, to a eager and excited audience.

On a side note, the photo included here of their recent cross promotion with Varvatos, inspired my new haircut - at least the pic of the band member with the ice cream cone.
