The Mitchell Brothers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the band. For the pornographic film producers, see Mitchell brothers.

For the EastEnders characters, see Phil Mitchell and Grant Mitchell.

The Mitchell Brothers are the first signing to Mike Skinner’s The Beats label. Tony and Teddy Mitchell are both 24 and claim Manor Park, Ilford and Stockwell as their ends. Teddy and Tony are actually cousins and not brothers.

Teddy and Tony, with the support of a group of mates called 'ylimaf' (pronounced ‘wiley mouf’), pressed up 1,000 mix CDs called ‘Sorted’.

They inked their deal after Tony Mitchell performed a reverse pickpocket manoeuvre in the queue at a Barclays Bank in Brixton and slipped a demo CD into Skinner’s pocket. Clothes are important to The Mitchell Brothers: Tony prefers Lacoste and Polo, whereas Teddy heads for Aquascutum. Classic Mitchell items include a flat cap from the Wandsworth Road market and a slightly loose Fred Perry V-neck jumper. They are both fans of Lyle and Scott, appearing in both their polo shirts and v-neck jumpers.

They are currently in the process of recording a new album.

They are both of Ghanaian descent.
