Alex Kapranos was born on 20 March 1972 in Almondsbury, England. He became known as the singer and guitarist of Franz Ferdinand, the band formed in Glasgow.
The band released its self-titled debut album in 2004, the same year that Take Me Out became a major single. Their music brought together sharp guitar sounds and rhythms suited to the dance floor.
In Michael Winterbottom’s 9 Songs, Kapranos appears as himself with Franz Ferdinand in concert footage. The appearance is a musical performance rather than a fictional acting role. The filmography here lists works available on FLM.RED.
