The Chateau became a fixture of Glaswegian art-rock until the police shut it down but the party continued at a disused Victorian courthouse. Playing their first gig in a friend's bedroom as part of an art exhibition, the four-piece soon discovered an abandoned warehouse nicknamed the Chateau where they rehearsed and performed. That said, Ferdinand the man has had an influence on the band as the single release of "Take Me Out" came with the B-side, "All for You Sophia", based on the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. It was revealed in 2009 that the band was named Franz Ferdinand, not after the Archduke of Austro-Hungary as was popularly believed, but after a racehorse that they had seen on television, which sparked a conversation about the name and how, basically, they liked the way it sounded, although it helped that Ferdinand's death was the catalyst for the complete transformation of the world with WWI.

Lead vocalist Alex Kapranos met guitarist Nick McCarthy, raised in Germany and a classically trained pianist with a passion for Adam Ant, at a warehouse party when McCarthy stole his vodka.
