![The Fratellis at the Electric Ballroom, London [Live]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4949003_lg.jpg)
Back in 2005 The Fratellis were everywhere, from iTunes adverts, to main stages at festivals, achieving an enviable stadium-band status only after the release of their debut album Costello Music, which reached number 2 in the UK and even I owned a copy (and considering that I was living in South America at the time... you get the idea). Then the mediocre second album, the hiatus and the solo projects came, and nothing was ever the same again. In 2012 after a few one-off concerts The Fratellis decided to take [...]

One of the defining bands of the indie rock explosion of the mid-00’s, Art Brut arrived with a style that was very unique for the time and, inevitably, is so overdone today. Their mix of thick-English-accented Sprechstimme and garage rock influenced music (imagine The Hives if they were from Bournemouth) influenced a flurry of bands after them, like The Fratellis and The Kooks . But Art Brut were not only the originals, but the best, with lead [...]

It didn't help that I saw the Glastonbury lineup a minute before I saw what Indiependence had to offer. Unlucky timing, I guess. We knew beforehand that Bastille and Kodaline were already playing Indiependence, held in Mitchelstown, Co Cork, and now we know who'll be joining them. And it's hard [Read more]

Who said 'I don't like Mondays' (OK, OK I know it was the Boomtown Rats ) because one reason to absolutely love Mondays is the release of The OK Social Club 's first album 'Nothing In Common' next Monday! They've been on the blog list for a bit but good things come to those who wait and there's no arguing this album is a very good thing. it's Scottish Indie Pop at its very best, out Frattelli-ing the [...]
The Fratellis are delighted to announce their return to the road for a 7 date UK Tour in April 2013. The Fratellis are halfway there on recording their comeback album and they want to reassure fans it's a return to their roots. Jon, Baz and Mince have been working on the new record, since they announced their reformation in September, and the album will be out next year. "We've not changed in any way that is going to challenge people too much and you can't really expect people to buy into what you are doing and then completely [...]
The first time I saw a preview for NBC's comedy Community during the pre-season network push, I didn't know what to think. Thankfully, my love for Chevy Chase superseded any preconceptions that I had of Joel McHale, and I watched the pilot. I have been hooked ever since. It follows the life and times of sleazebag Jeff Winger (played by McHale), who lost his high paying job as a lawyer due to a faulty degree. Jeff is forced to return to community college to get his life back. On the way, he crosses paths with a [...]

An Interview with Barry Fratelli of The Fratellis! I can remember listening to Cuntry Boys & City Girls when I was about ten. I had absolutely no idea what I was singing about at the time, I just knew it was catchy and I liked it! Now when I listen to The Fratellis , I have a far more in-depth appreciation for them; it's still catchy as hell, but now I understand the lyrics and the wicked music behind it all. Being a big fan, when we had the chance of talking to their bass-guitarist, [...]

Posted in General Clickable This Friday evening in Whelan's, Dublin indie upstarts Raglans are celebrating the release of their EP, Long Live. Whelan's in turn are celebrating the fact that it's the first release on the newly formed label Whelan's Records! Raglans are what I describe as good honest indie. If you've been submerged in an ocean of electronic squelches [...]

En el marco del lanzamiento de su nuevo álbum “ The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy ” (producido por Chris Shaw de los Super Furry Animals y con guitarras de Doug Gillard, integrante de Guided By Voices), la banda originaria de Brooklyn, Nada Surf , se ha mantenido bastante ocupada. Ayer presentaron un videoclip bastante nostálgico para el tema “ When I Was Young ”, dirigido por Phil Harder (que también ha dirigido videos para The Fratellis, Pulp, Foo Fighters, etc.) y fue grabado en la ciudad de Nueva [...]
And we're back! Six of the best. Still going strong: Joke of the Day - Wahey! Henrietta - The Fratellis Filed under: Writing

STV have come in for some massively unfair stick in the past, but they have come back fighting this week with one of the funniest pieces I've seen in ages. This week they published a list of nominations for the best Scottish songs of the noughties, to be voted for by viewers, with the intention of eventually whittling the numbers down to select 'Scotland's Greatest Ever Album'. And it is hilarious . The list of nominated songs for the last ten years or so is absolutely brilliant. I can't tell if it's the best satire [...]
