Codeine Velvet Club (Fratellis side project)

I got this e-mail earlier this week:



Calling all Fratellis fans.

The band is now officially on it's holidays, but will reconvene when the rain comes, ready to take on the world.

In the meantime, welcome to the Codeine Velvet Club.

The elusive and talented Miss Lou Hickey and I got together earlier this year, to record an album of what we like to call "Kitchen sink music".

The album now finished, we're busy rehearsing with the rest of the band; Ross "The Boss" MacFarlane on drums, Will "Blisters" Foster on keys and guitar, Lewis "P" Gordon on bass guitar and an assortment of well meaning lunatics on brass.

We've planned some shows for September and are sounding pretty great at the moment, so they should be memorable nights. Hopefully we'll see some of you there and over at the Codeine Velvet Club website, there should be some songs and videos up there soon and a promise by the band to drop in for tea!

All the best,

Jon

I love Costello Music and thought Here We Stand wasn't as good, but had some high points. That said, I'm always up for some new Fratellis music and am really digging the sound of this side project. Can't wait for the album in November.

Re: Codeine Velvet Club (Fratellis side project)

Well, this came out this week. Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything about a domestic release. Based on my high expectations after hearing a few songs, I was putting off making my Best of '09 List until I had the album. Oh, well.

Anyone across the pond pick this up?

Official video for "Hollywood":

Here's the other A-side, their cool cover of the Stone Roses' "I Am The Resurrection":

NME is offering a free download of the above here.

I ordered a copy from the local indie record store. Expensive at $35.00 but I have a $25.00 gift certificate.

I finally picked up the import last night. I really like the tunes. U.S. release in April.

The domestic is coming out, I believe, in April or May.

Solid album and a lot of fun...unconventional and creative, sorta like The Fratellis.

But way different. In a good way. Check it out!
