From XFM Online:


Fight Music - Franz And D12 Fight It Out


Tempers flair at a recording of the German version of Top Of The Pops as Franz Ferdinand clash with D12's "wrestler" bouncers before ending up "enveloped by flab" upon impact.


Franz singer Alex Kapranos explain has explained how the fracas ensued following a recording of their single 'Matinee' at the studios where the two bands were filming the German version of TOTP.

"I walked past a chink in the curtain and Eminem was doing his rehearsal," Kapranos told MTV. "This bouncer went. 'Hey you, keep walking', or something like that. Because of the attitude he had, I said, 'Say's who?' And this 28-stone guy is like, 'Says me'. Then it was such a like comedy moment.

"He came lumbering toward me like those old kind of wrestlers and we kind of collided and I thought I was going to go flying, but I just ended up being enveloped by all this flab. And then we just parted gently.

"Next thing, everybody round me just went nuts and I think Glen [Franz tour manager] knocked his hat off and Nick [McCarthy, guitarist] punched him in the face and then all these like security guys came and pulled him away. It was like school or something."

In other Franz news, the band told Xfm in a recent interview that they thought that the next release from their world-beating debut album may be fan-favourite 'Michael' and revealed that there would be a live DVD coming out soon. For the full interview click here.

Next week: Keane and 50 Cent duke it out in Austria.
Got tickets at the box office – oh the money I saved!

Asked about best guesses on when the show will sell out, and the box office guess (note, folks, it's a GUESS) is about four days.
got my tix this evening as well - looking forward to it
oh dear, oh dear. just saw franz ferdinand are in the "buzzworthy" section at mtv.com. the teens shall be out in force at this one!
Yeah, I'm not too psyched at the prospect of this sold out show. And yet, I won't miss them due to the 'buzz.'
I stopped by the box office last night before Q and Not U to buy some tickets. The lady in the box office said Franz Ferdinad is about half way to a sell out. She expects it to sell out in three more days (as of last night). Just FYI…

yes, yes i know. shame on me. inexcusable, really.
Can I just say that I feel like a total tool that I sat there clicking away and paying $30 in tickets.com fees to get my six tix when I could have strolled over to the club any time during the last two weeks since they *still* have not sold out. :)
I will *never* be able to predict this sh*t!
a little birdie tells me it's almost sold out….
yeah…people said that like forever ago. I'm worried that it's not going to sell out at all and I won't be able to get rid of my tickets if I can't go.
I'm not worried. I bought six tickets on spec – I'm sure I'll be able to give them to happy folks who want to see the show…
So I finally looked up Sons and Daughters (opening band) because the name sounded so familiar. They are also signed to Domino, and you can find the official site here.
wasnt sons and daughters a bad soap opera from the 80s?

OMG! My mother used to watch that show religiously! I had totally forgotten about that. It was on everyday at 3.30 in the afternoon I think. LOL
FYI - On the FAQ board eddie says this is probably going to sell out very soon. If you haven't bought tickets yet, you may want to do that ASAP.
I've got mine… no thanks to my work not sending me to our convention…
I really hope it sells out soon, I went ahead and bought 4 even though I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use any, figuring that if it sold out I could get rid of them at the door.
