Arctic Monkeys remind David Bowie of Action
“Meanwhile, Bowie has become the last rock star to give The Arctic Monkeys his seal of approval, after watching them at a show in New York last week. Bowie explained what he thought of the highly-rated Sheffield quartet in a posting on his official website. He explained: ‘Popped in to see The Arctic Monkeys at the Bowery Ballroom Wednesday night. They had some good songs, a great drummer and generally rocked the house. A nice solid Brit band. Personalities sort of reminded me of a young Action (if anyone remembers them).’ [Launch]
Other big names at the Arctic Monkeys show were The New York Times and NME. And in related news, Bowie is returning to film.
