Cookie to Auction Fake ID |
|
Arctic Monkeys guitarist Jamie Cook will auction off his fake ID card, which he purchased from students attending one of the band's gigs in the US.
As previously reported, the band bought fake ID cards from students during their recent tour of the US as all members were under the legal drinking age of 21.
Speaking to XFM Manchester, Cookie said:
You can auction this for charity. We could give you some Finding Nemo tissues But you can have my fake ID from America. This were even in the Daily Star! Next time I go back I’ll be 21 so [I don’t need it]. I’ll sign it as well."

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?
