Arctic Monkeys are huge in the uk where they are from, they have loads of hype..

The first album from indie band Arctic Monkeys has become the fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history.
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not was released on 23 January and has sold more than 360,000 copies.

It's been largely underwhelming here. This appearence should definatly help. I've only sold maybe 5 copies since the release in my store. Other stores I've talked to in my area have similar results. The album isn't great, but a little SNL exposure should help.

Show is sold out in SF, tickets were 12 dollars I think, and they are selling for 75-80 and up on craigslist. that's monday, I'm looking forward to it.

I went over to iTunes and previewed a few of Arctic Monkeys' songs. They have a lot in common with the Goo Goo Dolls...

ALL OF THEIR SONGS SOUND THE SAME!

Rogue588

Did anyone catch the "4 Stages Of Actic Monkeys" on this week's "Best Week Ever"? Funny shit.

Goldberg74

Here's a clip of it

"Delete on the myspace buddies... bye-bye."

Tommy Ceez

Isnt the lead singer, like 18 years old?

I liked the album, maybe because I cant stand the Cali emo punk crap, and this satisfies my need for vag punk.

Brain Stew

The first sketch was actually funny

Rogue588

Yeah. Guess Pardo doesn't love the Monkeys...he didn't even mention 'em..

RichC2

Funny opening and monologue, downhill from there.

Brain Stew

Really? I've thought all the sketches have been funny.

Patman

The digital short was dumb.

The travel agency skit was dumb.

Brain Stew

I liked them both

Coral

The Podcast skit... was that actually Amy Adams or was that an SNL member playing her Junebug character?

Brain Stew

That was Wiig from the opening and travel agency sketches.

Spring Roll

I thought that CEO eating sushi sketch was hillarious.

Brain Stew

Of course you would, Spring Roll.

Coral

Thanks. I'm not familiar with the cast, but it seems she was doing an imitation of the character from Junebug - which I thought was well done... unless that was just a coincidence.

deadlax

i haven't gotten any of the hype for the arctic monkeys since they debuted huge in britain, but good christ do they suck. although i do like the fact that they are young kids trying to rock, and they'll probably eventually put out a decent album.

Buford T Pusser

I was about to mention that. Good stuff.

Spring Roll

That's MR. Roll Spring to you, my friend. Spring is my last name.

astrochimp

Someone yank Horatio off the damn stage.That WU bit was dreadful.

Patman

Oddly enough, Sanz was pretty good in the digital short.

astrochimp

Wow that was amazing,only 2 minutes later Will Forte made me miss Horatio.
