Following on the back of their 1.5 million selling debut ‘Costello Music’, The Brit Award and 2008 Silver Clef Best Band Fratellis, are shaping up to release the defining track from their latest Gold album ‘Here We Stand’.
With A 21 date Sold Out national tour in the bag, and confirmation that they are to headline Jo Whileys Little Noise Sessions, this has been a great start to the year end. ‘Tell Me A Lie’ from latest album Here We Stand was also chosen to be the official track for the launch of EA Games’ ‘FIFA 2009’.
The Tour kick-starts with an intimate Q Club performance at The Hard Rock Café on November 19th, and the band will also stop off in their hometown of Glasgow on St. Andrews Day (28th November) to headline the Glasgow vs. Cancer charity gig at the SECC. The Tour will end with a unique homecoming show at disused Glasgow warehouse, The Print Factory.
