Biography
The Arctic Monkeys band began their music activity in 2002. This was the initiative shared by two Sheffield friends Alex Turner and Jamie Cook. Having mastered electric guitars simultaneously, they felt dissatisfied with useless playing the instruments at home and decided to build up a rock group. To form a classic quarter, they recruited their school fellows Andy Nicholson and Matt Hedlers. The predominant version of the reason why the lads took up this particular name for their formation is that Jamie Cook cherished the dream since his infant years to play in the band named this vey way. The first rehearsals of the beginning musicians took place at an abandoned warehouse, just to match the rock music canons. In summer 2003, Arctic Monkeys made their first appearance on the stage of one of the clubs in Sheffield. After a row of suchlike concerts in front of tiny audiences, the group began working on their demos to attach more attention to their activity. The records with their own compositions recorded poorly and quickly were distributed free of charge during the group’s performances. Technical difficulties limited greatly the ability to multiply these CDs, which prompted the first fans of Arctic Money establish the band’s page on MySpace to let more and more people get familiar with their music. Internet appeared the main channel of communication between the public and the young musicians.
