The Fratellis are all done



U.K. rock band The Fratellis have officially called it quits.

Recent posts on the band’s message board from singer Jon Lawler and bassist Barry Wallace have all but confirmed that the band is no longer recording together (via NME).

“We have no plans to work together right now. Sometimes things just work out that way. Mince, Baz and I are working on music but not with each other for a while,” Lawler wrote.

Wallace went in another direction and talked about his memories from being in the band.

“From the very first day we got together, The Fratellis never had a plan as such, we knew we were good, we knew we had a chance to make it,” he said. “Turns out we were right, everything fell into place and we’ve spent the last five or so years touring the world sharing this great music with you all. At this particular point in time though we’ve found ourselves making music still but just not together. This is just the way it goes I suppose sometimes.”

Currently, Lawler is singing in the band Codeine Velvet Club. The Fratellis career seemed so short lived but the music they did put out always did make me dance. At least the music from their first LP.
