Franz Ferdinand

As you may know, Franz Ferdinand are back this year with a new album, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action (stream two tracks) and a tour which hits NYC on October 22 at Hammerstein Ballroom (tickets).

But the band will also make their way to NYC much sooner than that for an hour-long Live on Letterman concert this Monday (7/22), which will stream live on CBS.com and VEVO at 8 PM EST. The concert precedes their appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, which airs later that evening on CBS.

Franz are also hosting a listening party for the new album the next day (7/23) in Brooklyn at Glasslands, where they’ll be DJing along with a DJ set from Liv Spencer (Still Going, House of House). RSVP for the Live on Letterman performance and the listening party is open now.

Updated dates are listed, along with streams of the two new singles, below…

Franz Ferdinand – “Right Action”

Franz Ferdinand – “Love Illumination”
