Kanye West Fan of Arctic Monkeys Drummer |
|
Rap superstar Kanye West has stated that he thinks Arctic Monkeys drummer matt helders is nearly as good as Phil Collins, making the band sound a slight bit like Genesis.
West said:
"The guy on the drums is real tight, man. He's got that whole British vibe going on and he brings that Phil Collins, Genesis sound to the table. I can always tell if a band have a British rhythm section due to the gritty production." |

Ewan McGregor Unimpressed by Arctic Monkeys |
|
At Last - a celebrity who doesn't like Arctic Monkeys!
Scottish Hollywood actor Ewan McGregor had the following to say on everybody's favourite new band:
"I don't like them and I don't know why all the other bands are singing their praises."
Now, we're not saying Ewan McGregor has to like the Arctic Monkeys, but it'll be amusing to see if anymore celebrities are quick to jump on the anti-arctic bandwagon. |

Reverend And The Makers - Spread The Word! |
|
We just thought we would let you all know that the Reverend John Rarsclart, also known as the shadowy "fifth member" of Arctic Monkeys, and good friend of the lads, now has his own musical material for you to download - free.
the Reverend's band is called "Reverend And The Makers" and shortly after the official website - www.iamreverend.com - recently launched, the demos managed to found their way online too.
There are currently 4 demos to download, including a song titled "Bandits" featuring Tim from Bromhead's Jacket assisting on vocals.
So, since we believe we have a big enough fan base here at Mardy Bum to make some impact, we decided to give the Reverend and his Makers their own little site announcement... SO SPREAD THE WORD, PEOPLE! |

Arctic Monkeys Debuts in US and AUS |
|
Arctic Monkeys have entered the Australian album charts at number #1 and the US charts at a respectable number #24 in the US.
The album almost sold 34,000 in the US, which, for a band's debut release who havent even stepped foot on American soil to promote the album by official press, prior to it's release, is quite an achievement. Even "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" won't be played on the radio until 6 March.
And as mentioned, in Australia, the band rocketed to number one in their debut week. |
