no wonder why he aint coming to Sheffield again, he embarrassed himself last time trying to follow Arctic Monkeys. Poor bloke, his songs are actually quite good, bless.

Oh dear! Arctic Monkeys must be pretty difficult to follow!

He is quite good, shame about the t-shirt.

yes they are other people to have found this out include the Ordinary Boys and Mick Jones' band Carbon/Silicon.

Apparrently the Paddingtons think they can do it and want Monkeys as touring support. Thick bastards...

fight.

hey, those monkeys can't do our alldayer cos the manager can't make it. this confused me a little. was he going to drive them? (wasn't me who made the call)

they're playing club fandango on apr 5th (i think that's right) though, so all is good in the world.

they're planning at least 3 London dates.

Geoff the manager is also their driver. He used to be the frontman in Seafruit

Arctic Monkeys are shite. Tom Vek is pretty bad, but them, oh dear.

That doesn't mean they're good or indeed that I have to listen to them. Or even that it's going to happen.

Sell out maintain the interest.

See them live, they have lots of songs and are brilliant. Plus nobody in the country is writing better lyrics at the moment.

And I fail to see the relevance of your Natural's Not In It quote- me smells pretentiousness

Lots of songs, shocking! What I have heard is utter garbage. Plenty of bands are writing better lyrics aussi, Grandmaster Gareth, but whatever, each to their own.

I don't suppose you've seen heard of a band called Hot Club de Paris yet though have you.

They haven't really toured at all.

Grandmaster Gareth is in Misty's Big Adventure, but also does solo stuff.
