Whether it was the “duh-duhs” of ‘Chelsea Dagger‘, the Hot Fuzz soundtracking of ‘Baby Fratelli‘ or the UK Top 10 success of ‘Whistle For The Choir‘, there was a time when you couldn’t move for The Fratellis‘ ‘Costello Music‘.
Ten years on, the band will head out on a celebratory tour this coming November and December, playing their 2006 debut album in full starting at Nottingham Rock City.
It all started with their self-titled EP of April 2006, led by subsequent album track ‘Creepin’ Up the Backstairs‘. By the time ‘Ole Black ‘n’ Blue Eyes‘ had been released as the sixth single from ‘Costello Music’ just over a year later, the LP had become a near-permanent fixture in the business end of the UK charts and had delivered the band a 2007 BRIT Award for Best British Breakthrough Act.
A general sale of tickets starts Friday, May 20th.
