the felice brothers

Anyone on this a fan of this band or seen them live? only start listening to them a year or two ago, they seem to be under the radar, but theyve had 3 excellent albums out, especially the eponymous one.

Bang bang bang went FrankieS gun. My 3 year old's fave. If you like them check out The Duke and The King. The drummer(Simon)'s band!

Great band. Saw them last year at Open House Festival in Belfast with Wilco and Field Music.

I'd 2nd The Duke and The King. I prefer them honestly. Got to see them last year in Academy 2. Smashing show. They are all great vocalists.

I was introduced to their music by a chubby, bearded roadie at a party a few years back. I swore blind I'd check out their album - bought it in New York 2nd hand and then proceeded to never listen to it.

I really must check it out because I quite liked what I heard at that party.

We supported them a few years ago. Savage band, really top notch musicians and gentlemen too.

Little known fact: One of the Felice's (James, I think?) played piano on one of the tracks on The Minutes album.

Simone Felice's solo album is out in April and he will be promoting it with a few dates.

Also recommend reading his memoir for the Guardian, he has had one heck of a life...
