I was fortunate to see this performance live, even now it blows my mind !! Best live performance ever !

[@DenUitvreter]

I was already in my 30's when I was looking for new music on the internet when I ran into their free demo album 'Beneath the Boardwalk', only to be downloaded. I was blown away by this bunch of 18-year olds from Sheffield singing about 18-year olds'stuff and playing with 18-year old's energy. Energetic 18-year olds that is. Only later I realized how maturely the songs were crafted, and what a mature live performers they immediately were, while having the maturity to not pose as something they were not. Nothing fake about them and the 20 somethings, 30 somethings and maybe even 40 somethings in the crowd probably appreciated that and wanted to be 18 again and start a band.

And the song is about prostitution!! They wrote it at and the whole of the 1st album ages 17-19. Alex turner and the drummer, Matt Helders (who is also a hip hop dj!) are the geniuses imo. My previous comment mentioned they headlined 2 outta 3 years, they've headlined again since, too. There were 70-100,000 people in that crowd-MEGA!! I saw them at Old trafford cricket ground 37,000 people sold out in 15 minutes for 2 nights in a row in 2005 just after the release of album #2. They had Amy Winehouse, the Coral and supergrass supporting. Supergrass were just behind Blur and Oasis in the 90s-try supergrass 'Alright', 'Mansize Rooster' ooh or deffo 'Caught by the fuzz'. And The Coral 'Dreamin of you' or 'In the morning', they came early 2000s and are from near Liverpool so are Beatles-esque.

The music video for "When the sun goes down" was filmed at park hill flats in Sheffield, just behind the train station. Arctic monkeys came from Parsons cross area that's a few miles away from the city centre. Words like "Mardy bum" is what a mother from Yorkshire would say to her sulking child.The closest "English" word to "Mardy" would be "Sulking", and "Owt" is "Anything" and "Summat" is "Something". Summat and Owt have old English roots while Mardy is of old Norse origin
