The members of Franz Ferdinand and Sparks will join forces to become FFS, a new supergroup, as NME reports. That’s right, two of my favoriate bands, Sparks (I’ve been a fan since the 1970s) and Franz Ferdinand (I’ve been a fan for about ten years or so) have teamed up for an album and tour. This is really cool for me because both bands have attained a level of fame mixed with obscurity that qualifies them as “cult favorites.”

Here’s a music video for one of the tracks off of their album that sees every member of both bands dressed as Ronald Mael, the distinctive keyboardist for Sparks…

Here’s a concert they did together in Paris last week…

Now go buy the album, FFS.
