The Fratellis were an alternative rock band from Glasgow, Scotland who took their name from the villains in the film “The Goonies” (although, by coincidence, Barry’s mother’s maiden name is in fact Fratelli). The band consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli (real name John Lawler), bass guitarist Barry Fratelli (real name Barry Wallace), and drummer, backing vocalist, occasional guitarist and banjo player Mince Fratelli (real name Gordon McRory). They toured with a pianist / rhythm guitarist, Will Foster. The band has released two albums, 2006’s “Costello Music” and 2008’s “Here We Stand”.
History
2005-2006: Beginnings and The Fratellis EP
They played their first show on March 4, 2005 in the O’Henry’s bar in Glasgow across the road from the famous Horseshoe bar, and received their first radio play in 2005 on central Scotland’s Beat 106 (later XFM Scotland, now Galaxy Scotland) Beatscene show hosted by Jim Gellatly. They were signed by Fallout Records.
The Fratellis EP was released April 3, 2006, featuring the tracks “Creepin’ Up The Backstairs”, “Stacie Anne” and “The Gutterati?”. The NME ran a two page feature on The Fratellis in the August 10, 2006 issue, proclaiming them “the best new band in Britain”. “Creepin’ Up The Backstairs” was never a single released by the band, even though a video was made for it. It was not eligible for the charts. The first single released by the band was “Henrietta”, which was released on June 12 2006 and charted at number 19 on the UK Charts.

It was priceless sth that happened to me. I was in an important Scottish event in Glasgow with thousands of pple, and then, out of the blue, Chelsea Dagger's track started to play and EVERYBODY, but EVERYBODY knew every single word of its lyrics, they were singingit as their own national anthem! A friend of mine was like... who the hell is singing, who is this band? And I told him they're The Fratellis, man, but I had no idea how important they were to this city! I love Glasgow and I love The Fratellis. Scottish Music is SOOOOO amazing!

This band is proof of two things. 1. If a bands second album is not better or as good as their first, they will go on to be shit. 2. Bands become more popular after they are no longer together.
