Thanks Google translator, of course ;D www.elperiodico.com/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=46&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=667443&idseccio_PK=1013 - Do you remember your first concert in Barcelona? It was in December 2003 and there were hardly 40 people."Of course. It was our first trip to Spain, even before the first hard edit. I was hallucinating: I had a group could spend a few days in Spain ... I had worried that only 40 people. I thought, "40 people had come just to hear us as soon us? Great! ". - When Franz Ferdinand felt that, unlike other groups which have been, it would be special enough to succeed and not end up separating after two or three years?"They were two different times. At one point I thought we were really good and one that I felt we were going to succeed. The first occurred early on, when Paul and Nick exchanged their positions in the group: Nick picked up the guitar and keyboards and Paul sat on drums. Paul was very bad with the guitar and Nick just happened to play drums. Only with that change we went from being a band that sounded awkward to have a truly exciting sound. It was an unforgettable moment. - And when you sensed they would triumph?"I remember it well. I was on the street in Leeds, and I heard a guy whistling a song of ours. We had just finished editing the first disc." -During these years, have not had the feeling that with your first two albums all was perfect for you? You have played much, but seems to be born at the right time, at the appropriate label, right songs..."When we formed the group wanted to make a very different music around us. At least in England there was no band with a dirty rock sound and at the same time, dancing tunes. We were unique in that sense, it was easy: we had no competition. Between 2005 and 2007, there was a boom of bands that sounded like our style and became very common. Now, however, there's more synthesizers and things are becoming difficult for us. They say we do music that was popular five years ago." -Are you a victim of the topic that says that it's harder to continue sound interesting on the 3rd album? (more or less :"All groups have normal ups and downs and is receiving more praise at some times than others. We do not remember that criticism destroyed the Beatles when released Magical Mystery Band and everything returned to normal with The White Album. Critics support and abandon groups constantly. It's something that should not be paying much attention. In fact, I believe that this third album is the best I've recorded. Although the current climate is not propitious to an album like that, with hindsight, say within 15 years, I believe it to be valued much more." -The promoter who brings them to Spain told me that today the groups grow much faster than in the 90s. With a third album you already fill large stadiums."But the other day I told my manager how good I think that today a group like the Pixies received much attention. In the late 80s was not pleasant to have a band and touring. Nobody went to concerts. A mid 90's people turned to go, but at the end of the decade I was doing graduate studies at the university and I was horrified to see almost any student going to concerts. In recent times it has much improved, but I'm beginning to notice that decreases again the interest in live music. it's Seasonal. -The downside of the current interest in live music is that groups spend more time on stage. Are tours of 18 months destroying the creativity of a group?"Probably with this answer I'm throwing stones on my roof but I totally agree. If you look at the career of a group like The Smiths you'll see that they released an album a year, sometimes more. That was because only played two or three weeks in England, made a couple of dates in Europe and returned home to write another record. Most bands of our time do not have this option. And it gets worse. Hardly makes money by selling records, so the only way to pay bills is going on tour. The current trend is that groups increasingly have less time to create and that's bad. I am among those who always wants to return soon. And this is not just going to the studio but having free time because tours destroy you. Most songs you think come when you return home. - What did you do on holiday?Ending a tour is like climbing to the surface after having been diving. It is necessary to decompres. I went to Vancouver and produced the previous album by The Cribs. Then I rested a while in New York. - What about the rest of the band?I do not know. I didn't asked them. -you spend one and a half year together and don't ask where they've been?"Mmm ... No. It's their life. ---- ^I guess he just didn't want to explain what they were doing...I do agree with him, why would he have to speak about their lives?

Aggg I've just noticed that "I'm throwing stones on my roof " might not have a meaning for you in English, 'cause it's a Spanish set phrase. I think it's easy to get the idea anyway, but ask if you have problems with the translation. Also sorry for taking me so long, but I have heaps of work to do
