Live Review: Franz Ferdinand at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester 19 October 2022
Words: Andy Hughes
Four days prior to taking to the stage at the Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, Franz Ferdinand were rather fittingly ambassadors for the recent ‘National Album Day‘, with the emphasis this year being on debut releases. Along with its follow up ‘You Could Have It So Much Better‘, their debut self-titled album was a pivotal release when I was growing up, as I’m sure it was for…

I caught the recent live in-studio KEXP with these ladies from London.
Great set that you can watch here. Really digging this new debut album.

The large, gilded doors to the grand ballroom of Beelzebub’s palace opened wide, letting the crowd of guests clamoring to get inside file in by small groups. The cacophony of voices echoed throughout the halls, seeming to fill the room before the guests did.
It looked just as beautiful as it did the previous year. The marble floors were polished to perfection to where one could see their own reflection if they looked down, the chandeliers glittered above the guests, and the curtains were pulled back from the huge windows lining the walls to let the soft moonlight shine on the guests from outside.
A large stage sat at the end of the room. A band was setting up and tuning their instruments. Once the guests were ushered around the stage, a puff of colorful smoke exploded onto the center. A feminine silhouette could be seen through the vapors. Not long after, Beelza stepped through, donned in her ringmaster costume.
She grinned at the crowd of guests, raising a handheld mic up to her lips as she addressed the crowd.
“Heeeellooooo, everyone! Welcome to our palace and my mom’s annual Masquerade Ball! I, Princess Beelza will be your emcee and host for the next three days.” Beelza lifted her top hat off her head and took a bow towards her audience. “As most of you are already aware, my mom will be disguising herself as a completely different demon throughout this whole event, but whoever is able to correctly guess her true identity on the last day gets a helluva of a nice reward.
We got a fun weekend planned for you folks! One that we hope you won’t be forgetting anytime soon. We have a costume contest later on tonight, a dancing contest tomorrow, and for the last day, an open mic night so you can come up and impress us all with your musical talents! And we also got some other performances for you, one of them by yours truly~ Now, are you guys ready?” Cue cheers from the crowd. “YEAH! That’s the kind of shit I wanna hear.”
“Without further ado–” Beelza raised all four of her hands in the air. “LET’S GET THIS PARTY FUCKING STARTED!!!!” Confetti and gold glitter shot out from cannons situated at each end of the stage, marking that the ball had officially begun!
