The Fratellis

Post by Sewerite »

Anybody like this? I have been playing 'Costello Music' interchanging with Suite XVI in my car for about a month now. It's really good non serious and catchy. Reminds me a bit of The Dickies, remember them - must be nominated for best song title 'Stuck in a pagoda with Tricia Toyota'

Tried it a while back and didn't think much of it. However, since you have recommended it I will have another listen to it by the pool this afternoon.

Never warmed to them on record at all, though I must admit when I watched them at Reading Fest they were superb live. Very much a time and a place group for me.

I saw The Fratellis last night in Birmingham and thought they were excellent. I saved a few quid as well on clubs, as I was back at the hotel tucked up in bed with my woman gone midnight. I must be getting old! :grin:

As far as I'm concerned they are about as good as modern music gets. I bought they're album Costello Music last weekend and really like it. The sticker on the album case has a quote "indecently rousing". That's a really good way to describe them.
