The Fratellis take their name from a family of fugitives in Stephen Speilberg's 1985 adventure film The Goonies. In a 2006 interview with Contact Music, bassist Barry sarcastically insists that "Fratelli" is his last name, though all three members adopted it as stage names (Singer Jon was born Lawler; Barry was born Wallace; and drummer Mince was born Gordon McRory).
The band's biggest hit, 2006's "Chelsea Dagger," became very popular at sporting events. The track was used to celebrate goals by the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks. In tribute to the team's 2013 Stanley Cup victory, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra recorded an orchestral version of the track.
Their 2006 album Costello Music stayed in the UK top 100 for 83 weeks and sold over 1.5 million copies.
