Fratelli Fun

We saw The Fratellis last night at the Key Club. So fantastic!


As an old fogey, these days I don't attend many general admission concerts. I really enjoy sitting (or at least having an option to sit). It's not often I go to tiny clubs anymore, but I do what I need to do to see great little bands like The Fratellis. It's hard to get clear pictures when you're jostling about.

I don't think The Fratellis will stay that little for long. If you've never heard of them, I highly recommend getting their debut album Costello Music, which I have played on repeat countless times. Their recent sophomore effort, Here We Stand, released just last week isn't bad either, but Costello Music is hands down one of my faves from 2006. It always puts me in a good mood. In fact, "Flathead" is one of the Monkeys' favorite songs -- we like to sing it together in the car!

Some short clips:

Baby Fratelli (the end of it and the end of the concert).



Oddly, I didn't feel old at the concert. I actually felt rejuvenated. I must admit I was sort of miserable for the first 15 minutes, but then I got over personal space issues and remembered how to hold my own at a small club concert like I did years and years and years ago.

And then I was in heaven.
