Brilliant night on Friday night - ta to all of you who came down. It was kinda weird being on a Friday night - seems like it’s been a long weekend! Anyway, the photos are now up (thanks to Mike for takin’ ‘em). Get them here. And the mix CD details for Friday nights giveaway are available here.
And I can now confirm the next 24 Hour Party People will be on Saturday 17th May at the Bath House. Hope to see you there!

From Monkey to Puppet
By admin | April 15, 2008
Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner’s new side-project is a band called The Last Shadow Puppets. The group is Turner and Miles Kane, frontman of The Rascals. Firm friends ever since Arctic Monkeys toured with Kane’s previous group, The Little Flames, the pair were inspired by listening to Scott Walker, early Bowie and David Axelrod amongst others – ‘it was dramatic’, Turner says’ ‘it filled the senses’ - that they hatched a plan.
Single “The Age of The Understatement” is out now in the UK & here’s the vid!
Album is imminent!
