Arctic Monkeys: updates!

The upcoming year guarantees an even larger explosion from the Arctic Monkeys. I mean, how can you get much bigger after you sell out every show in your home country and then come to the States for more sold out shows and have people buying tickets on the streets for $1200? This is a band that Noel Gallagher actually likes and was dangerously close to becoming a funk band. Here is what's going down with them in the next few months:

-the band's first North American single drops on Nov. 29th through Domino Records as a 10", but the songs are currently available through iTunes. Those songs are "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor," "Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts" and "Chun Li's Spinning Bird Kick."

-a second UK single comes out on Jan. 16th which will include the tracks "When the Sun Goes Down" [numerous bloggers have mistakenly called it "Scummy"] plus three new studio songs.

-there is a video for "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" available on Domino's site.
