Codeine Velvet Club - Hollywood

[Ynterstella]

The composition form, structure and sound is like the music in former East Germany, if I would be in the kitchen of my grandma.

[intiDelarge]

Fratellis > Codeine Velvet Club

[nolamartin0]

they sound like the last shadow puppets

[veiron1]

This is pure class!! I love it! :D

[love2beat]

sounds very 50's rock

[RashHunt]

Wow did he fuck up

[Playingpants]

I don't understand why people hate this song. It's so fresh & new. The riff played in gallops, the chorus has those beautiful breaks, and the chorus also has the tempo cut in half. It's original. This guys a fucking genius.

[KingCrimson776]

These guys need better melodies.

[craigyjac2]

Loving this band

[chirky88]

I really like Codeine... It has a very Pulp Fiction sound to it... I really do love The Fratellis though!

[someonecalledME003]

Its not right seeing Jon without Baz and Mince!!!!

[Ticchick67]

cannae believe the' isn't oneof those dudes from the Fratellis? comment

[akser360]

love this because you know he doesnt do it for the money. :)

[pinkopaque22]

This is NOT the Codeine I remember. Not a fan of this-sorry.

[LexaLeetz]

I think it sounds a little bit like a Christmas song

[Heyitzj0sh]

big basketball game tomorrow. i wish i could play this song out loud when i enter the court xD

[Hollybeth84]

poor man's last shadow puppets

[Apax890]

codeine velvet club, bombay bicycle club, black rebel motorcycle club, two door cinema club, tokyo police club... wtf

[kyotosong2k]

@Apax890 I thought the same :)

[crazyguy47]

fuckin' wish he was still playin' his white "Chelsea Dagger" telecaster, that'd be too cool for this video

[amamuffin]

super booooring

[orior1]

This song's verses are totally ripped off from "Save your love my darling". I bet the chorus is also stolen from somewhere..

[iitears]

<3 ;

[msargyle1]

Favourite cvc song. sounds a bit like 'baby fratelli' done smooth.

[fercherie]

more music like thiis! thanks! it was a about effing time! lav this

[aledraingoldenapple]

Isn't one of those dudes from The Fratellis? I'm pretty sure the one with the gap in his teeth is the one....He always reminds me of johnny depp in Alice in the Wonderland.

[lukeavfc2009]

@aledraingoldenapple yes

[JackBacket]

@aledraingoldenapple They are on hiatus, they don't say they will be continuing, but have not yet officially split.

[jonzales333]

Hmm, do i like this or not... i really can't decide... :/

[misspetedoherty]

@jonzales333 I totally feel the same !,,, but if we can't decide isn't cause we do not think that codeine is not velvet ?,,, That a club I could have joined in the eighties but it out of trend nowdays !... How on earth can a band pick a name like that ???

[deathofbarney]

What an odd song....

[martouellette]

Good song but the video sucks

[Deus7Le7Volt7]

Arcade Fire copy.

[JarOfTears]

@Deus7Le7Volt7 isn't that a good thing though?

[EmilieThea]

2:02, the bassist is kinda cute.

[IvaVintage]

shift of by then

[poppa108]

awsome sounds live a 40s song like Vegasey song lol

[dancinginmyslippers]

Fratellis guy!

[GiantPea]

This is ok but Fratellis are far better.

[lsdekoning]

I am officialy a fan of codeine since hearing this song, I love them!

[AbilityNow]

Not bad. But I think "Like a Full Moon" is much better.

[jlindsey1972]

Is this just a die project or have the Fratellis broken up? Anybody know?

[bozaza1138]

@jlindsey1972 a couple months ago they officially announced that they have "no plans to play together in the immediate future".

[Garbanian]

@bozaza1138 Dislike >:l

[linlovesthedoctor]

@jlindsey1972 The Fratellis are on hiatus. And Codeine Velvet Club has already broken up (Jon and Lou are both expanding their solo careers). So if one day Jon feels particularly nostalgic we just might get the Fratellis back!

[jlindsey1972]

@linlovesthedoctor Man that was quick. I just picked up the cd last week! So much for them hitting the road then huh?

[purpleblue808]

reminds me of the last shadow puppets somehow.

[Dandyincursive]

Ahhhhhh, perfection. I'll miss The Fratellis though (long live Chelsea Dagger).

[lks2lks2]

magic BORING song!

[dellaith]

incredibly optimistic music! love this band!

[bulletstospare]

Ahh..codeine..like being wrapped in cotton wool....sign me up for the club.

[Saverinator]

Not bad, Fratellis are muchmmuchmuch better though. Lawler is an amazing musician all around i think.

[ronniebalonnie]

Jon Lawler's (aka Jon Fratellis) new band/project. Fabulous! 

[wildtiger446]

Great!!! Wooooh! One Of The Best Singles 2010!

Greetings from Dresden,Germany

[letshavfun951]

shes kinda hott

[videosurfers]

Superb CVC concert in London on Saturday night (worth missing the football for any day!). Lou and Jon signed autographs etc for ages after the concert and both were utterly charming. Can't believe we won't have the chance to see them perform together again after they've finished their final CVC commitments. They really are a one-of-a-kind band and draw great loyalty from their fans.

[guywithahook]

Wow, I like it.

[loOcuete]

Great soOng!!!!

[iulyanebuna]

<3 it

[dopeyyowler]

I don't think they'll split up. I just came from the concert they held tonight in Bucharest, Romania...just before Noisettes.

[andreeacristina78]

@dopeyyowler

I AGREE WITH YOU! THEY WERE BRILLIANT LAST NIGHT! I'M STILL DREAMING ABOUT THE GREAT NIGHT I ATTENDED ..........IT WAS GREAT! THEY ARE GREAT!

[videosurfers]

Only discovered Codeine Velvet Club in March and shocked to learn that they are splitting up. Both Jon and Lou are wonderful singers but together they are out of this world and unique in this era of pre-fabricated bands and X-factor performers. If there is any chance for CVC to continue, we urge them to keep this magic going.

[kevinocooldaddy]

love the Duane Eddy sound on the guitar

[soholndn07]

Great song, great video, great Jon Fratelli presence. Double A side with "I Am the Resurrection" .... of Marc Bolan! If Marc Bolan woke up as a Scottish musician in his 30's he would be Jon Fratelli!

Bring back The Fratellis!

[soholndn07]

While The Fratellis are hibernating I'm listening to Jon Fratelli's offshoot project Codeine Velvet Club

[cosasimposibles]

VERY GOOD SONG

[suziepunisher]

why does this video not have more views?? BRILLIANT!

[ferdbirdie]

being a fratellis fan, i can't decide if i like codeine velvet club or not yet. hmmm

[MrJDazz1230]

these guys sound awesome! vocals, instruments, amazing lyrics to think over...awesome!!! only i wish that there were more substance in the music video...other than that, kudos to this band!

[mcdougalld]

This band remind me of a Scottish Last Shadow puppets. Really good, hope to see them soon like

[shovingwords]

saw them at QMU last night (friday 7 May). very cool band. bonzo dog what the fuck drummer, mr fratelli is actually a pretty awesome guitarist. really dig that 60s boy/girl vaguely spector sound. kinda fancied the bass player a bit. not in a gay way!!!...

[MRRockNRoll90]

seeing them 2morrow in glasgow then again in kilmarnock in a couple of weeks :D

[ivanq25]

@MRRockNRoll90 So totally jealous!!!

[MRRockNRoll90]

@ivanq25 just seen them about 2 hours ago amazing :)

[policemanandrew]

Does anybody else think this is like Marc Bolan in both looks and sound?

Great song btw!!!!

[sallyfieldrequired]

I love this

[jasyman]

cant wait to see them live! And being invited to the after show party by lou hicky is just amazing!!!

[cilamc]

The Fratellis were SHITE and I'm glad they split up. But this is GREAT.

[tigerkidtre]

So classy. I'm in love.

[HECbabes]

ive seen these live on new years eve, in edinborough. there amazing:)

[missgraciepoonmore]

lovin it... makes me want to dance

[PoMoDave]

I *love* this video, and the song! However, this seems like it's maybe a lower-res source file that you uploaded. Even at 720p, the picture looks lossy, and the frame rate seems like it's skipping frames. Is there a better version that can be uploaded instead?

[PoMoDave]

@PoMoDave Actually, after restarting my computer, the frame rate thing is ok, but the resolution still seems low...

[RaffyB98]

Classic. LOVE IT!!

[17patman]

stop this shit and go back to the fratellis

[letthemeatcake16]

yeah i saw them last night. the guys voice is way better live. its rougher and reallly good. but u couldnt really hear the girl. so this is good for her

[omarrore]

like this alternative music bitch!

[punahele85]

Great at Metric! Loved his voice much better live :D

[SLFinSF]

Where in Scotland are they from?

[glebber]

glasgow.

[nitemarehippygirl1]

not bad

[AshleyJwillkillyou]

i saw them open for meteri tonight. they were much better live. his voice sucks here.

[AshleyJwillkillyou]

metric

[mygoatwilleatyou]

worst band name ever.

[ShadowCalibur]

Correction: Sexually Attracted to Fire

I Set My Friends on Fire

[evangarcia92]

These guys are great

[bil2lay]

I heard this on XPN in Philly the other day. The dude sounds like Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop boys.

[anna10797]

Chelsea looks a bit like lady ga ga!

[Browne415]

The Bass Player taught me guitar :D

[hopala55]

sounds like "the bucket"

[tsilberstein]

I was thinking even Davey Jones Monkees in some parts, absolutely delightful!

[goodygumdrop23]

Sounds a bit like Neil Diamond/Beach Boys

[msdamnit]

my new obsession

[drenchd]

cool song.

[luigicamp69]

Is it just me or it's like listening to John Lennon , and a bit of Pet Shop Boys too? lol

[DianaLoliX3]

heeheee. :3 good song.

[Gynecologist]

Is it just me or do they sound just like The Last of the Shadow Puppets?

[666sanne666]

I was thinking exactly the same when that guy started singing!

[msdamnit]

@Gynecologist - I thought exactly the same thing when I heard them

[theryaner]

I really liked the fratellis and I also like this song. Even though the band name is really lame.

[jorjagirl]

I think it's the best pop i've heard in a while...

[DianaLoliX3]

@jorjagirl thats cuz its not pop. its underground. :3

[jorjagirl]

You can call it underground, indie, whatever u want ... but it's still pop!

[MasterGreenDude]

There is like no point to the girl in the band....but i dont mind the song honestly

[b1indingsh4d0w]

i miss the fratellis!!! :( this just isn't the same...

[jilijub]

what's up with the druggy name?

[ShastaOrange]

@jilijub I like the word "druggy" because literally everyone who uses it is an ignorant child, and that's my cue to stop listening to them. This method never fails.

[is1this1it]

get back with the fratellis jon

[22TheFratellisRock]

XD Jon is soooooooooooooooooo cool!!!!

luv him

[alexinwonderland5393]

He's gone soft. =[

[Puggwarrior]

I'm reserving my judgement until the next album

[RebelChild09]

No shit, Sherlock :D

[kevinocooldaddy]

@RebelChild09 dig deeper holmes

[scottmaskell2010]

thats jon fratelli out of the fratellis

[IASAP]

freebirdgdw that is exactly why i know these coz of john mayer! :)

[snootch72]

Magic song!

[freebirdgdw]

Not a fan of this music whatsoever but my gf dragged me to see john mayer at the manc apollo and saw these guys as support. Can respect what they do and think their music is ok. this is a big complement from me. I'd rather listen to Asking Alexandria!!!! Plus you're alot heavier live than u are on record and I mean a lot havier!!! do eet, do eet now!!!!!!!!!!

[EDDERGC]

@freebirdgdw you have no idea how lucky u are!!!! i wish i could see John Mayer AND Jon LAwler In the same place at the same time!!!

[RugbyMadMarzy123]

Saw these guys last night supporting John Mayer at the Manchester Apollo, very good stuff, recommended (Y)

[freebirdgdw]

me too!

[rwwhammer]

How do i convert Youtube to mp3? I would be very gratefull... Many thanks...

[LorcanDMeath]

i use vdownloader. it takes about 2 minutes to download. it will convert the song into any format really including mp3

[jjbb18]

download realplayer you have to download the whole video but u can convert on realplayer to mp3 its legal as long as you do not share the music and its for educational use ;)

[alex99fever]

the chick kinda kills it a bit =/

[Stuperate]

The bassist used to teach me guitar but he left to do this

[imababyshark]

introduction riff sounds like jingle bell rock

[haleyyscomet]

I can't stop listening to this. Soo good.

And the blonde lady is Jon's wife.

<3

[ellaCoombe]

nothing special

[lewisred1]

love this band, just got their album!

[DeathComes62]

i didn't know that this was Jon fratelli's project band. caught me by suprise. Still an amazing band.

[bootycrewqueen]

cool ballroom too. very nice ambiance for their style.

[coolbaby45]

Down Load full album at lilwayne-rebirth. com

[teenagekicks444]

Jon's voice is just lovely. :)

This ain't bad, but no Fratellis.

[DeathComes62]

This song is kinda old school and i like it a lot!

[StuartIsCheese]

I like the song, but all I could think at the end was "SURPRISE BUTTSEX." Sorry....

[roxstarsunshine]

i love their look!! pretty song..:]

[murdogers1]

well, thats an unfair statement as you havent heard 99.9 % of the uk bands, you would have heard mainstream, plus it really depends on the genre of music you like, you should look for uk bands who make that.

[LondonerAtHart21]

Sky.. totali ignorant of u 2 say.. u probably havent even heard 50% of uk bands

[bagwhanbill]

cool5

[renotsecniv]

Pure class !!!  Thank you.

[solarhippie]

Brilliant!

[ladykentmores]

Another Fantastic Video To Go With A Great Track , well done D&G XX

[kaitie07]

Love the song, and good video! I like the Vanity Kills one a little better, but this is good too. These guys are great! (Plus, I love all of Lou's dresses. I wish I had that kind of style!)

[oilhammer04]

I liked to see that old style of dresses come back in. Is that a 50s look?

[kaitie07]

Yeah, it seems like she usually wears 40s or 50s style dresses. They're amazing!

[CrackDeckFingerSkate]

nice vid

[AstroSonicGTAS]

it was ok
