Fatboy Slim will be forever preserved in the mainstream pop-culture annals as that funk soul brother who all but left so-called “electronica” behind as he crafted commercial-ready dance hits.

Scottish folk singer/songwriter Paolo Nutini has announced a summer tour with an August 31 stop at the Culture Room. Paolo has been huge across the bond (that’s fancy speak for the UK) for about 3 years now and he’s starting to pick up some serious steam in the U.S. now…

Their website claims they’re the original British Invasion band, just above a scrolling banner begging visitors to “Call your local Oldies station and request a Herman’s Hermits song TODAY!!!” It’s alternately sad and cute, especially after doing a little research and finding out they actually rivaled The Beatles for a…
