the UK's The Fratellis | HOT OR NOT? | 2007 Tour Dates (NYC, SXSW)

Fratellis

Tickets are now on sale for yet another show by another UK band (March 22, Mercury Lounge) They're called the Fratellis, and what I've heard so far is not that pleasurable, but here are their credentials:

* NME writes about them
* Up for a Brit Award
* Playing the Brit Awards
* in iTunes ads
* IGIF says they are bigtime
* Stereogum is watching them
* Modern Age liked them one day
* They rock Cleveland
* Fratellis Top of the Pops

They're also playing SXSW, and The Troubadour in LA on March 19th. So, are the Fratellis.. HOT OR NOT?

They're the iPod's new baby band. If they're not big now, they will be.

i actually like this album quite a bit. they're certainly a lot better than The View. why the early show at Mercury? Are they planning another one?

Posted by JK | January 19, 2007 3:25 PM

They're all brothers. How cute is that?

Nothing any more original than the usual fare coming out of the UK, but that said, still sound fun and standard Brit stuff is still kicking the shit out of most of what's popping up on these shores.

Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust !

Not as great as Sons & Daughters, their fellow Glaswegians, but still a whole lot of fun.

i'd have to hear more to make a real conclusion
