Franz Ferdinand – Modern Backdrop

So we were just sitting around last night and watching the tube, we happened to finish a show on the DVR so I started flipping through the HD channels.  One of my favorites being Palladia, the HD music channel.  If you can filter through the DMB and Ben Harper crap you can see some pretty cool stuff. Recent examples include Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MGMT, Cardigans (guilty pleasure) and in this case Franz Ferdinand.  I have seen them on TV before but what caught my attention was the setting: the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias.  Just lovely a piece of modern design that has graced many blogs.  Seeing a concert in this setting was just a beautiful site.  For more great pictures of the concert check out this Flickr photo stream or just peruse Palladia as I am sure that I saw one of many reruns of the same show.
