Arctic Monkeys

[cloudyshambles]

Suck It And See has grown on me A LOT! I really love it! Piledriver Waltz is still my favourite though

 

[madame royale]

so excited to see arctic monkeys in january!!! miles kane is supporting i think i'm even more excited to see him.

 

[Andrea.RL]

^oh god that sounds amazing. I wish I would have taken that stupid ticket a few years back to the last shaddow puppets concert they had put on!

I'm almost sure there isn't a single song I don't like of them. I love their dark/strange universe and the lyrics are always beautifully written.

AND(!) I saw them last night at a festival in paris, I still can't over how RAD it was!!

Because Arctic Monkeys are only returning to the studio in 2013, I think this may mean a second TLSP record? If so, I'm so excited! And I can't wait for this Don Valley DVD!



Love the guy lying on the ground.

Video for 'Suck it and See'. It's gonna be released as a single on October 31, the b-side is an unreleased song called Evil Twin.

^ I adore Matt.

I'll always love the earliest albums and b-sides best of all (emotional attachment and all that...) but I'm loving Suck it and See

 

[lunabella]

to the video. or maybe.

 

[MussedPorcelain]

Ha, that's definitely a wtf? video. I'm not sure I really get their new American fascination or the image they're experimenting with, but they're definitely going for something. I think it's all a bit of a joke for them.

Does anyone know why they are skipping NY the second round of tours? They just announced new tour dates on the east coast and they're hitting everywhere except the place that has their biggest American fanbase. As much fun as it can be, I don't really want to go to Philly or Baltimore to see them again.... though I will probably haha.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

Just got home from the show; the whole band was fabulous, splenderious, actually. Especially Alex - his voice is amazing.
Drummer= heart
Singer= soul
Guitarists= lungs
One great rock n roll body the Monkeys are. Hurray!

 

[LuellaLuella]

^Just made me even more excited for my first ever AM gig!!! 28 days- 4 weeks exactly!

 

[Not Plain Jane]

^ Ha! How cute that you're counting down.

 

[LuellaLuella]

Well, sort of, every couple of weeks I think about how long it is and then get really excited. The last time I saw a really good band was 2005 when I saw The White Stripes at Glasto, and I prefer AM, so the excitement is overwhelming, haha.

 

[MussedPorcelain]

^Your first one? You're really lucky, they get really into their Halloween shows. In fact, they probably give the best live show of any band I've seen, and I've seen then 8 or 9 times, which makes it even more exciting. (Obviously I'm not prejudiced in any way.)

 

[LuellaLuella]

8 or 9?! Woah you're so lucky, jeeez haha. Hopefully this is NOT the first and last time I see them, but the first of many :-) Glad their Halloween shows are good, and hopefully, because it's a UK gig, they'll get even more into it (for obvious reasons).

 

[MussedPorcelain]

10's my lucky number. I knew my boys wouldn't let me down, and with an 'intimate' surprise show in Williamsburg, to boot.

 

[LuellaLuella]

Wow, that sounds great!

I found another b-side off SIAS, I think it's of The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala, but I'm not sure. It's called Little Illusion Machine (Wirral Riddler).

 

[LuellaLuella]

They played Evil Twin live at The Pageant STL on Oct 4th, here it is:



Oh, and they played Love is a Laserquest live in Nashville for the first time ever!

 

[LuellaLuella]

Why tease us like this?

I saw them last night and thought they were really good but my only wish was that they interacted more with the audience. Have to say, The Vaccines were a dismal opening act as they had absolutely no stage presence and all their songs were repetitive.
