KAPRANOS: SMART OR A BIT KNOBBY?

We're not sure we can answer that. Alex Kapranos was ticked off by the manager of a Singapore hotel Franz Ferdinand were staying in, so as an act of revenge, the band took 150 fans back for an after-show party.

Because, yes, that'll show the manager - but it's not going to be the manager who has to cope with 150 people milling about, is it? It'll be the lower-paid staff who actually do the work. It's like kneecapping someone's mother when you fall out with them.

And buying drinks for 150 people - thats not going to be good for the profits of the hotel at all, is it?

Hey, that's just funny! Why not harass hotel staff? Rock stars at your hotel are a wonderful break from say, the management with its snotty attitudes and condescending sexism. They probably had fun: don't knock it till you try it!

well nobody bought drinks for the fans. don't think alex kapranos meant any malice and the fans were relatively well-behaved at the hotel. nothing was damaged. it was more an informal meet-and-greet session. so, all good really.
