New Arctic Monkeys Video and Prize Draw


How very convenient! Just as we here at Gigseen have put the final touches on a prize draw with Arctic Monkeys tickets to be won (and some FREE site subscriptions), the band themselves release the video for their upcoming single The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala.


Lovely. A nice wee catchy laidback tune that's only downfall will be when Stone Roses' John Squire arrives from 1988 in a Technicolour Time Machine to take his guitar riff back. Pause at 0:39s also to spot a quite surprising influence on the Arctic Monkeys musical tastes ... Made me do a double-take!

The Hellcat Spangled Shalala is set for release on August 14th and is the second single from the Monkeys' LP Suck it and See which at the moment is firmly ensconced up near the top of the album charts.

The band are currently busy running the UK festival circuit (T in the Park and Oxegen this weekend) but of course if you miss them, there's always our aforementioned prize draw which may land you a pair tickets for London's O2 Arena ('The Venue Formerly Know as The Millenium Dome') on October 30th. Lots will be randomly drawn at the end of this month from amongst all our site Subscribers, Registrees and Facebook 'Likers', so for an extra chance or three - Tell a Friend!
