Girls, on February 6 we are all going to the Sant Jordi Club to see the amazing Arctic Monkeys. This band from Sheffield returns to make you shiver with emotion. I remember when I first heard the Arctic Monkeys and the whole vibe that remained from the Nu-Rock Revolution, Strokes, Interpol, White Stripes and other American herbs. However, my beloved band by Alex Turner has continued playing with grace and some “originality” while others have gone off. I think of Doherty and the Libertines as well, and remember seeing them live thinking they were everything.
The purpose of the tour is to promote their latest album Humbug (2009), an album full of their signature guitar sound and Turner‘s voice that made us dance. “The Jeweller´s Hands” is still one of my favorites; sexy and slow, I still get to the shower listening to it on repeat. The Arctic Monkeys sound much more post punk than their contemporaries, maybe that´s because of the raw production of their music and of course the incredibly sexy bedroom voice of lead singer Alex.
Arctic Monkeys will also be in Benicassim this year with Primal Scream amongst others, but Benicassim, like the Nu-Rock, has become old news, which has more to do with drugs and party than with music. Look, I´m not a saint but I go to these events for the music. May only the British survive?

So darling, rent apartments in Barcelona and do not miss this concert. Fasten the suspender belt and come with me.
