Content Update - Live Bootlegs, Acoustics and Interviews |
|
We've added a LOT of new stuff recently, and we're planning on adding much more!
As some of you may remember a while ago we added a bootleg from Toronto, during the April Arctic Monkeys tour, and we wrongly named it a the performance from the Air Canada Centre where they supported Oasis. Well we;ve actually got that bootleg now, woo!

The second bootleg is also from the April tour. This time at the Transbordeur in Lyon, France.

The final bootleg is from the most recent North American tour where Austin, Texas had the pleasure of Arctic Monkeys outdoors at Stubb's.

We haven't had any acoustics in a while, and there's a been a few recently.
The first recording is 'No Buses' from the LeMouv' 'Nova' live radio session in France. During this session, the band played a new song called "I've Been Here Before' though nobody managed to record this.
We've also got a full radio session from 99x Studios' 'Live X' session in Atlanta. The session includes both 'Riot Van' and 'No Buses' performed acoustic and also an interview with the lads.

Andy Nicholson Leaves Arctic Monkeys |
|
This is a sad day in the world of music.
from arcticmonkeys.com...
We are sad to tell everyone that Andy is no longer with the band.
Nick O’Malley, who stood in for Andy while he was absent from the recent tour of North America, shall carry on playing bass for the remaining shows this summer.
We have been mates with Andy for a long time and have been through some amazing things together that no one can take away. We all wish Andy the very best.
Alex, Jamie and Matt. |

Last Night These Two Bouncers... |
|
Desperate to have a drink on their current US tour, Arctic Monkeys have had to resort to Fake IDs to get into bars and clubs across states.
According to the Daily Star, guitarist Cookie said:
"We've all had to buy fake ID cards for ourselves off a couple of students at one of our gigs. It's either that or don't go out and get stuck in, which isn't really on."
"We've got away with it so far and no one's questioned us at the bar, even though the pictures on them don't look like us at all".
Something like this then, eh?

Crouch Looking Good on The Dancefloor |
|
So I'm sure we can guarantee you've all seen (and are probably practising) the infamous Robo-Crouch celebratory dance. Here at Mardy-Bum.com we were looking for an excuse to post about this historic milestone when suddenly... we didn't need to.
According to most of the English press, Crouch's Robot was inspired by Arctic Monkeys' 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' and when he first performed the dance at the Beckhams' Pre-World Cup Party, it was during the song and more exact, to the line 'Dancing to electro-pop like a robot, from 1984'.
Since then, Crouch did the robot after he scored the winner for England against Hungary earlier this week and then did it the following day in front of the whole squad (and a someone called Prince Harry) whilst training.
SPREAD THE WORD.

Also, due to popular demand, we've uploaded the videos from MTV2's "Discover and Download" site. Some fans had problems downloading these videos so we've uploaded them to the site. However, the videos WILL need to acquire a license but that should be no problem.
