On Friday night as part of my two day Franztravaganza of sorts, I headed to 888 Yonge to catch an interview and performance with Franz Ferdinand, as part of a two-tiered special coming up on MTV Canada. The guys chatted with MTV hosts Daryn & Nicole before getting down to business – performing six new songs (!) from their upcoming album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. You can catch the interview and performance of their new single Ulysses on MTV Live tonight (Tuesday!) at 6pm ET.

But if you want to hear the other five songs that a special group of us (that is, anyone who was at the studio on Friday!) got to preview, you’ll have to stay tuned for MTV’s The Leak Live sometime in January closer to the album release date. I’ve gotta say, the new songs sound really, really great and it was such a pleasure to hear them performed in one of the best sounding ‘venues’ in Toronto.

Setlist:
Ulysses
Live Alone
No You Girls (formerly known as Kiss Me Katherine)
Bite Hard
Turn It On
What She Came For

The last song in particular, as I mentioned in my review of Thursday’s show at Lee’s Palace, is electrifying. It’s probably my favourite Franz Ferdinand song to date!

P.S.: When did Nick become such a supercutie? I love the way he holds his guitar…sweet technique, mein freund.
