Frankie & The Heartstrings???

Bookshelf [Edit] [Delete] 12:46, 20 February '10

Does anyone know how they seem to be getting so much support etc? This isn't an attack on the band (though they aren't my thing) but they seem to be doing very well on the back of nothing. Supports with Florence and the Machine, NME slots, touring reasonbly sized venues, lots of press etc. Though they haven't released anything (I don't think).

Its not even like they have been going for ages and built up any type of reputation, they were supporting Florence and the Machine before even doing their own headline tour. Were they even together as a band before the latter half of last year? I know one of them is Lauren Laverne (sp?) brother but is this just a case of the band/management knowing the right people?
