SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
A brashly melodic indie rock outfit from Glasgow, the Fratellis feature
vocalist/guitarist Jon Fratelli, drummer Mince Fratelli, and bassist Barry
Fratelli. The witty trio played its first show in early 2005, maintaining that
the band's moniker was merely an homage to Barry's original surname (however,
other rumors suggest that the Fratellis borrowed it from the nemesis family
featured in Steven Spielberg's film The Goonies). Such trivia only added to the
Fratellis' growing appeal upon their performance debut, and the band's
limited-edition self-titled EP arrived in April 2006. Although few copies were
pressed, the record received a helpful boost from Zane Lowe's Radio One program,
which put the acoustic-driven track "Creepin Up the Backstairs" into regular
rotation. Televised appearances on Later with Jools Holland and Top of the Pops
followed during the early summer, while the group's second single, "Henrietta,"
earned the Fratellis their first U.K. Top 20 hit. "Chelsea Dagger" began
climbing the U.K. Top 40 that August, and the debut album, Costello Music,
finally arrived in September. Although the album failed to chart in most
countries (even an American iPod commercial featuring the track "Flathead"
failed to spark much interest across the pond), Costello Music enjoyed a great
deal of success at home, earning the bandmates a BRIT Award and peaking at
number two in their native U.K.
The Fratellis returned to the British charts in 2008 with "Mistress Mabel," a
track from their polished sophomore effort, Here We Stand. The band then went on
hiatus for a few years; during that time, Jon formed the torchy duo Codeine
Velvet Club in 2008 with Lou Hickey and released a solo album, Psycho Jukebox,
in 2011. Meanwhile, Barry joined the Twang as a touring member and Mince played
with Jon's backing band as well as with Throne o' Diablo. During this time,
"Chelsea Dagger" also became the unofficial theme song of the National Hockey
League's Chicago Blackhawks. In 2012, the Fratellis regrouped for a U.K. tour
and announced in 2013 that they had recorded their third studio album in their
native Glasgow. We Need Medicine arrived in October 2013. By the end of the
year, they were already writing songs, some of which appeared on the Soul Crush
EP, available as a free download on the band's website. The Fratellis recorded
their fourth album in Los Angeles with producer Tony Hoffer (who also produced
their debut); preceded by the singles "Me and the Devil" and "Baby Don't You
Lie," Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied was released in August 2015.
