Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

The BlackHawks and the Fratellis

From Wikipedia.

Well, that great BlackHawks win streak continues, despite me writing about it.  I have written about the "Chelsea Dagger" song sung at home games.  Now, about the group that made it.  They are an indie Scottish band from Glasgow.  Their first album was Costello Music, which had the "Chelsea Dagger" song.

Like the Ramones, they have adopted Fratelli names:

Jon Fratelli  (John Lawler) lead guitar and lead vocals
Barry Fratelli  (Barry Wallace), bass guitarist
Mince Fratelli  (Gordon McRory) drummer

They took their group name from the criminal family in the movie "Goonies."

They released two albums: 2006's Costello Music and 2008's Here We Stand.  The Costello Music album peaked at 48 in the U.S., but spent three weeks at #2 in the U.K..  In 2008, they went on indefinite hiatus, but got back together last year and plan to have an album out this year.

Great Group.  --RoadDog
