Antartic Monkeys
From the release of the Arctic Monkeys first album, ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not', the phenomenon soon swept the UK. Four guys from Wolverhampton realized the Arctic Monkeys would become an arena band and not play smaller venues.
Formed in March 2006 from a jamming session, The Antarctic Monkeys took a big chance in which they became a phenomenon in their own right, travelling the UK, playing venues armed only with one album of material.
The success has continued with 2 tours of the Shetland Isles and 8 tours of Ireland with more due to be booked for next year. The demand for the Antarctic Monkeys is ever growing.
This has opened the door for other tribute bands to rise for other current chart topping artists.
Since the release of the Arctic Monkeys second album, ‘My Favourite Worst Nightmare’, the Antarctic Monkeys set is as powerful and as energetic as the real thing and they have now become one of the country’s leading tribute acts.
The Antarctic Monkeys are currently booking gigs nationwide with some of the biggest agencies in the U.K, guaranteeing that they will soon be at a venue near you!
With rave reviews appearing in Q magazine and the Sunday Telegraph the lads have also had praise and approval from the parents of the real Arctic Monkeys.
