The Fratellis never disappoint, every show with them is a guaranteed good time and I can’t wait to see them again. The Belasco was enjoyable too! It’s an intimate and ornate venue with a variety of easy parking options near by and a Yardhouse restaurant within walking distance. My only regret is not seeing them in Santa Ana and San Diego as well.
My husband flew from Hawaii to Arizona years ago to see The Fratellis play, only to find out at the last minute that the band was too high to go on... Massive heartbreak. Fast forward to the best birthday surprise I could've possible given him this year... I don't know how I kept this a secret for as long as I did- but it felt so good to see his face when he realized what we were walking into. The Fratellis at The Belasco made his birthday so special, so a million thanks, all around. It was worth the wait, for sure.
I went to see the opening act Grizfolk. This was my first time seeing them live an I loved every minute. My friend & I are new to The Fratellies, but enjoyed each minute of their set. It's nonstop music that makes you want to move to the beat. Great show.
A disappointment. Wooden, unenergetic performance. Maybe the last song or two livelied up, but I didn't stick around to find out.
Great show! Had never heard Vundabar before but they put on a great opening set. Good humor as well as good music. The Fratellis did not disappoint! A very high energy show hitting almost all the best songs from the new and past albums (would have liked to hear My Friend John and Creepin Up the Back Stairs too, but you can't have everything). I'm very surprised they aren't playing bigger venues by now...not that I'm complaining, but it seems like they should be selling out amphitheaters at this point. Waiting for my dream concert of Jon opening The Fratellis with Codeine Velvet Club...make it happen gents!
The opening band, vunderbar was far, far better than the fratellis.
I first saw them 2 years ago in the same venue, and loved it. I love that it is such a small venue, much more personal. The Fratellis are a great band, and are very approachable, generous, gracious guys. They played a lot of the songs off of Costello Music, several off of We Need Medicine, and of course Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied, and a couple from Here We Are. I will definitely be going to see them again, providing they come back
Absolutely brilliant show. Mix of old and new songs, all had the crowd going crazy! Would recommend seeing them in a small venue like Paradise Rock Club, as we were right by the stage. Great music, great guys!
The Fratellis were great. They played a good selection of their songs and didn't forget to play the crowd favourites :) I danced the whole night long. This is my second time seeing The Fratellis and I always feel lucky I am able to watch a phenomenal band in such a relatively small venue. I would never want to miss a Fratellis concert if they came back to Toronto.
The venue was great, and The Fratellis put on a ridiculously fun show.
Had tickets to see these guys back in '08, at the Orpheum in Boston, and due to a death back in Scotland, they cancelled the rest of their US tour, The Boston show set to take place two days afterward. The Fratellis went on hiatus a few months later, and I had been waiting for them to get back together ever since. And this concert was worth every day and more of the 5 years between then and Sunday. One of the most amazing shows I've ever been to.
As a long-time fan, I could not have been happier to finally see the Fratellis. Hearing all of my favorite songs live was incredible, and it was an amazing show in general! They were clearly having a blast, and so was the crowd. Plenty of people singing along. The Paradise is a wonderful venue for seeing the band up close and personal, and the sound is awesome. The opening band was excellent, and super friendly.
The venue was very small, which was great when it came to being so close to the stage (you can't be more than thirty feet away at any time, really) and afterwards talking to the band and the stagehands, but there are three huge supporting columns right in the middle of the crowd that create huge gaps where no one can stand if they want to see the stage at all. The opener, The Ceremonies were great, especially with the vocals (three and four part harmonies!) The Fratellis play very well live, but most of the riffs are done on the keyboard, and especially in the beginning of the show (the first song, This Old Ghost Town) the EQs were pretty messed up. They evened out more as the show went on (although I think Barry's mic was turned off the entire time). Regardless, the show was very impressive and enjoyable. They have a very cool sort of energy. Jon and Barry stopped outside of the bus to meet people. I spoke only to Jon but he was very friendly and charming. He took his time talking to people. I was a little surprised by how quiet he is.
A fun show! The Ceremonies were energetic but ok musically. The Fratellis were great and I like the venue. Had never been there but there were good views to be had along the balcony
The Fratellis are the best band touring right now. Great new album, great onstage presence and Jon Fratelli is adorable.
Great night with the Fratellis! I just hope it doesn't take another 5 years for them to return to Boston.
Great concert, great mix of old and new songs, though the oldies had the better reception.
Great show! To see them in a venue like Webster Hall is unbelievable because of the atmosphere they have. I am very happy they got back together because they are one of the bands that I have been dying to see and I am very happy I got that chance. Would definitely recommend trying to see them in a smaller venue if you have the chance.
Saw the Fratellis at Webster Hall. The performance was amazing. They played a really long set (approx 1hr 1/2). They played their entire new album and 95% of Costello Music. Only a few from their second album. As for the venue, I was front row dead center. Personally, the bass was WAYYYYYYY too loud. It was literally blowing my hair back, and it made it hard to hear the vocals (many other crowd members were complaining about the same thing). In terms of view, you can obviously see everything perfectly.
The Fratellis were amazing. They sound just as good if not better live =] I bought their beautiful vinyl at the show for $20. What a lovely Friday night.
