Franz Ferdinand are signed to Domino records who are distributed by Rough Trade , thats about as indie as you can get.

Franz are distributed by Sony here in the US. And you can't really continue to be an "indie" band when you're signed to a major label, especially when you're a band as famous as the White Stripes. I'm not calling them sell-outs or anything, some great bands are signed to majors, I'm just saying that they're not really indie in a purist sense.
