The Fratellis became an indie rock group back in 2005, consisting of the Scottish founders Jon Fratelli, Barry Fratelli and Mince Fratelli. They launched their premier album in 2006,
Costello Music
, which rose to No. 2 in the UK charts and stayed there for three weeks. The album also landed in the top 100 charts in seven other countries and nine charts in total. The song Creepin Up the Backstairs became their breakthrough hit. Additional song favorites include Henrietta and Flathead. Another popular song, Chelsea Dagger, even became the featured song of the NHL Stanley Cup-winning
Chicago Blackhawks
. Despite a few songs making it to the top 40 and top 20 of various charts in some countries, the group decided to temporarily dismantle in 2011 to take on other projects individually. The group returned with gusto in 2013 and launched a third album titled
We Need Medicine
. Today, they continue to woo audiences into delight with their witty, infectious and melodic lyrics and music throughout their live performances.

The Fratellis still continue to record and release their orginal music. In 2015, they released
Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied
, and in 2018 they released
In Your Own Sweet Time
. The Fratellis tour around the UK and North America on a regular basis. Currently, The Fratellis concerts are played at larger stadiums and arenas in the UK, such as
Motorpoint Arena
and
Bournemouth International Centre
. When they tour throughout North America, the venues tend to be more intimate, such as at theaters, parks, rock clubs and music halls. The Fratellis have a loyal following who support the group in a cult-like manner. As such, you can expect to find The Fratellis tickets available for years to come.
''Whether you are looking for an intimate venue or a more regal experience, these charismatic and boisterous Scottish musicians can be found playing live in many different places. Check out StubHub to see where their upcoming performances will be held and to purchase tickets for this band.'
'While all three members of the band appear to have the same last surname, Fratelli, they are in fact not related. Their given names are John Lawler, Barry Wallace and Gordon McRory. Once they decided on the name of the band, they chose to own the personal characteristics that set them apart and change their names to match the band's name rather than the other way around.'
'Unlike many other bands, The Fratellis have only released five albums in their nearly 15 years as a band. Their success happened rather quickly from the time of their first performance at a pub in Glasgow to the recording studio in LA. In the time since they regrouped in 2013, they have released three more albums.'
'The Fratellis have been open about The Beatles having influenced their music. However, they give props to Tony Hoffer for having the most influence over their defining musical style in the early days. Tony is a music songwriter, producer and music mixer who has worked with The Fratellis over the years.'
'
Many people compare The Fratellis to the
Arctic Monkeys
and
The Libertines
.
''The Fratellis claim to have met while working at a traveling fairground that Barry's father owned. It was during this time they discovered their mutual love of music history and bonded over their collection of odd jobs, such as a nursing home attendant, a former car thief and a lion tamer.'
