Hey, anyone going to the Arctic Monkeys gigs on weds 2nd Feb (at the Fez Club) or the Forum on Sun 6th? I saw them at the Leadmill along with Trap 2 and was so impressed I thought I'd check them out again.

 

If any1's off and don't mind me tagging along for an hour let me know.

 

If not and you have seen them let me know what you think.

 

Here's their Website http://www.jamesheriff.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/arcticmonkeys/

There's a few mp3's if you fancy listening to em.

Cheers

A band every Sheffielder should investigate & know about.

I've been hearing big things about these from a couple of mates. Where can I download some of their material?

I saw that their recent gig at The Harley got a rave review in this week's NME.

Wow saw them supporting the Coral at the Leadmill - spent three days searching for their name under support acts (why do they never say!) and I was so impressed! They need to make an album lickety split!

Apologies to my poor mother who everyone is now going to think is an indie-head or something. That was my post :D.

 

They were so good! CD! CD!

They are getting a fair bit of air play on XFM and radio one. They look like they may be the next big thing out of Sheffield. Well deserved as well. I first saw them a couple of years ago and I didn't think they were that good. I heard some of the stuff they had recorded at 2 fly studios and was blown away
