The Fratellis @ Metro (1/22)

Post-punk Scottish band The Fratellis are coming to Chicago to give you that classic blend of playful lyrics and swinging guitar riffs. The Fratellis were founded out of Glasglow, after posting ads for their band in record store windows. What soon followed was John, Barry, and Mince becoming the 3 Fratellis, family through music. The band was immediately popular, getting signed to a record deal without even performing 10 shows, they became the next big hit in The UK, and unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve most likely heard them in the States. The Fratellis are simply pure fun, their instrumentals reflect their charming lyrics, being the perfect band to help you not take things too seriously. 

 

The Fratellis first began their career with The Fratellis EP, which featured their singles Stacie Anne and The Gutterati? in 2006. Soon after they released their singles Henrietta and Chelsea Dagger which climbed its way up the charts in The UK and became popular around the world. By the end of the year in 2006, they released their debut album Costello Music. Their next album was Here We Stand in 2008, which was self-produced and features their singles Mistress Mabel and Look Out Sunshine! Their most recent album was In Your Own Sweet Time released in 2018, and their next album Half Drunk Under a Full Moon is set to release next year. 

 

The Fratellis influence spreads far and wide, be sure to see them in person at the beginning of next year!

MacGregor Salmon: Transfer student from Texas A&M to Loyola University Chicago, I am a Film and Digital Media major. Though my primary study is in film, I love all things creative and want to immerse myself in all kinds of mediums. Sharing and discovering music with others has always been an important part of my relationships with others. I grew up on funk, and the first song I can remember hearing is Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder. I still have much love for funk, but I also lean towards alternative, jazz, and anything experimental as I love to hear how new artists are changing the music scene. I find myself on Soundcloud often, looking for creative new works by independent artists. I also consider myself to be a writer, I love to write creative short stories, but I also want to use my skills as a writer to further my appreciation and understanding of music, and the artists behind their work.
