Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Men behave very oddly in the company of attractive women.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I didn't grasp the basic principle of being a promoter, which was: Put on music but also generate an income. I was on the dole most of the time.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Just because you can leap off a drum kit doing a scissors kick while hitting a chord, people expect you to be an extrovert socially. But I'm not always comfortable with the idea of small talk at a party.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Although they might not admit it, I think girls are very aware of the impact that they're having. But they never feel it themselves, and it's impossible to explain. It's like trying to tell a blind person what yellow is.
