Domino

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

Franz Ferdinand is a band formed in Glasgow in 2002. The name of the band was originally inspired by a racehorse called Archduke Ferdinand. After seeing the horse win the Northumberland Plate in 2001, the band began to discuss Archduke Franz Ferdinand and thought it would be a good band name because of the alliteration of the name and the implications of *his assassination* (which was a significant factor in the lead up to World War I).

With their unique blend of indie rock and post-punk revival, Franz Ferdinand has become one of the most influential bands of their generation. Their catchy hooks, energetic performances, and clever lyrics have garnered them a dedicated fan base worldwide.

Influenced by artists such as *Kaiser Chiefs*, *The Last Shadow Puppets*, and *Dirty Pretty Things*, Franz Ferdinand's music combines infectious melodies with thought-provoking themes. They have released several critically acclaimed albums including "Franz Ferdinand" (2004), "You Could Have It So Much Better" (2005), and "Tonight: Franz Ferdinand" (2009).

Restored classics, rare finds, and sought-after releases. Whether you're a vinyl enthusiast or a tape collector, we have something for everyone.
