怎么能夠錯過一個英國復古先鋒，一個英國復古爵士女郎的組合，真相則是英國復古樂隊The Fratellis的主唱Jon Lawler ，或者他的藝名Jon Fratelli 的大手筆。就是和Lou Hickey組建了這支新樂隊Codeine Velvet Club。放心，The Fratellis 并沒有解散，并且已經在籌備他們的第三張專輯。其實早在2008年的時候The Fratellis為他們的第二張專輯《Here We Stand 》做巡演時，Jon Fratelli 就已經萌發(fā)了要做新項目的想法。然后在2009年8月份的時候公布了他的新項目，就是和Lou Hickey組建了新樂隊，名字為Codeine Velvet Club。而且他們的準備的速度也是相當的驚人，可以說效率相當高。

History
Formation
Jon Lawler stated in 2008, while The Fratellis were touring their Here We Stand album, that he wanted to release a solo effort to keep himself busy between albums, indicating that the band were going to take a break once they finished touring the album. When The Fratellis finished their touring commitments in July 2009, after the Hop Farm Festival, the band went on to their new projects. Fans already knew that Jon was going to do a side project by this point. It was later reported that he had formed a band called 'Codeine Breakfast Club' with Lou Hickey on NME, but fans had already been aware of the involvement of Lawler and Hickey.
On 23 August 2009, it was reported in the Sunday Mail that the band was to be called Codeine Velvet Club and will be releasing their eponymous debut album on 16 November 2009. The article also included a track-by-track with Jon Lawler . This article also mentioned that Lawler and Hickey shared songwriting duties between them. The band's official website was unveiled (although in a basic form for now) and featured a clip of their song Vanity Kills. Fans who sign up to the mailing list were able to view the full song as performed by the band. Later on, the website contained information about their debut shows (15, 17 and 19 September), a video player was also added to the site, showing full versions of "Vanity Kills" and new track "Hollywood". Reviews to the initial shows were positive, complimenting the duo's vocals and the musical arrangements
