- The Fratellis
Ticket: £20.00 plus booking fee
With their second album, have The Fratellis trumped their British guitar-slinging peers? What peers?! 'That thin indie-clatter - that’s the new mainstream pop in this country,' sighs Jon Fratelli, a man who knows what he likes (Pink Floyd, the name 'Camel Toe' for their studio - 'I think that might get vetoed though…') and what he doesn't (desperate Hollywood producers who asked to use 'Chelsea Dagger' in all manner of dodgy Z-list movies). 'We wanted to get as far away from that indie-band clatter as possible. 'Here We Stand' doesn’t sound like that. It sounds like a really great rock record.' Once you’ve picked your ears off the floor, you'll agree.
