Thanks to Water-rat Sparkylulu for turning me on to the Fratellis. These fun-first Scots are kinda like an amped-up, rocked-out Beatles, infused with the bounciness of early XTC.Their lyrics tend to the jokey side, which is sorta disappointing. They seem to have the talent to go farther. They're said, though, they're definitely a band to watch.
These are from the 2006 debut disc Costello Music:
[MP3] The Fratellis – "Henrietta" EXPIRED
[MP3] The Fratellis – "Chelsea Dagger" EXPIRED
[MP3] The Fratellis – "Baby Fratelli" EXPIRED
Here's the cheapest place I could find to buy their disc online.
Yay! So glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the triteness of the lyrics. Really, how deep is lovely rita meter maid???
Anyways, it's a top ten rekkid in the uk. Hopefully it will break here. It's all over my MOG.

Looks like it's gonna be great on the concert front anyhow, Time Again is playing Gothenburg 1st of march, Tiger Army on the 14th of april and the Briggs, Toy Dolls, Casualties and Turbo AC's are booked for a festival in august. Lovely....
I'm liking these Fratelli boys more with each listen.....
