FRATELLI'S, HOT CHIP AND VAMPIRE WEEKEND AT THE WILTERN




One of my favorite bands last summer, rocked the Wiltern last night. THE FRATELLI'S. This show was in support of their new album Here We Stand. Opening acts are The Airborne Toxic Event who also rocked. We missed the 1st band before that Electric Touch.

If you don't know this band, its a upbeat melodic indie rock sound, and the electricity that comes from vocalist/guitarist Jon Fratelli and drummer Mince Fratelli is out of this world. The other brother, bassist Barry Fratelli sort of gets lost on stage with Mince just completely overshawdowing everyone with his hard rock energy and his good looks! This guys is fricken talented.

The bands full length debut, Costello Music, followed in September and features the singles "Chelsea Dagger" and "Flathead" are some of my fav's. Their new album Here We Stand was released in June of 2008 and should be a big hit too.

If you happen to be in LA this week, VAMPIRE WEEKEND is Rocking Wed and Thursday night at the Wiltern and HOT CHIP is here on Sunday! Also, coming in OCT is THE DANDY WARHOLS, who I also LOVE!
