The Fratellis cancel Seattle show, igLiz pissed
Submitted by imaginary liz on May 3, 2007.
The Fratellis have been opening for BRMC on their recent US tour which has a stop scheduled in Seattle on Sunday May 13th. For months I've been going back and forth, divided on whether I should go see Peter, Bjorn and John that night (at Neumos) or stick with my SXSW loves, The Fratellis.
Well, I procured tickets to The Fratellis show and now The Fratellis website reports (in a really wimpy way) that the band has cancelled the final dates of their US tour - which includes next Sunday's show:
Due to a rigorous tour schedule, spending the last two years on the road, the band have been forced to cancel all dates up until May 13th, 2007.
Dudes, it was just four more shows! Can't they suck it up? I'm sure I'll get over it, but right now all I can think is that The Fratellis can suck it back and forth.
Hat tip to Aversion for the info...

My friend Sarah is going to flip her lid, as she's been talking about this show forever.
I agree with you Liz, suck it up Fratellis. Four shows ain't shat!

They could play approximately 193 gigs in four days at SXSW but they can't finish four more dates on their tour?? I thought they made 'em tough in Scotland??
Buck up, little campers! No one likes a QUITTER!!!

The Fratellis aren't tough or cool for that matter. Our Uni tried to get them to play our big event at the end of the year. At first they said they don't do student gigs, then we pestered a bit more, they asked how much the Uni was willing to pay for them to play, we stated £10,000. They then asked for a few more zeroes, we told them to piss off and now we're stuck with the automatic

Are you kidding me? That's insane! Who did the Uni end up getting?
I shake my fist at you Fratellis and your super-catchy Henrietta song!

we got the Automatic, don't know if they broke in the US. They had a novelty hit over here with a song called 'monster'. Youtube it, its annoying

The Fratellis are already pretty well disliked in Astoria, OR; this surely won't help.

Wow, words of anger from Liz, in bold nonetheless. This is serious.
