The Fratellis | Blackpool, Winter Gardens

Scruff of the Neck presents

The Fratellis

With special guests The Twang & The Lilacs

A brashly melodic indie rock outfit from Glasgow, the Fratellis seemed to emerge fully formed from the Babyshambles – inspired boho-chic scene that also spawned The Rakes and The Paddingtons. Their debut full-length Costello Music (2006) mixed the tried-and-true sounds of glam rock, stripped-down acousticisms, and Class of 1977 punk, featuring a pair of Top Ten hits in the U.K., “Chelsea Dagger” and “Whistle for the Choir.” (In time-honored punk fashion, the three bandmembers all used the surname Fratelli.) Subsequent records earned Top Ten placings in the local Scottish charts, including 2008’s Here We Stand, 2015’s Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied, and 2018’s In Your Own Sweet Time.
