If you remember the Amstel Light commercial from a couple years back, then you know The Fratellis as it featured their song “Chelsea Dagger” which was also the Chicago Blackhawks’ theme song during their Stanley Cup season this past year and I highly suggest you pick up their discs, Costello Music and Here We Stand. “Chelsea Dagger” which is on Costello Music is one of my favorite CDs to date and it came out in 2006. Amid rumors that the Glasgow, Scotland band has broken up and while the fellas are each working on side projects (more posts on this coming soon) I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that they do put out another record soon. We need more of The Fratellis.
And yes, they named the band after The Fratellis from the movie, The Goonies although their bassist Barry Fratelli’s (born Barry Wallace) mother’s maiden name was Fratelli as well.
