Prefix talked to the Arctic Monkeys (part 1)

"...By all reports, the first show was for “industry types”; the second, for “regular folk” (many of whom, incidentally, had similar geographically divulging accents as the four boys from Sheffield – Alex Turner on vocals, Jamie Cook on guitar, Andy Nicholson on bass and Matt Helders on drums)...."

PM: How old are you guys?
Arctic Monkeys: Three of us are nineteen and one is twenty.

....

PM: So that’s not you guys?

Arctic Monkeys: No, no. The other day someone said to us, “I looked at your profile on Myspace.” I said, “I don’t even know what Myspace is.” [When we went number one in England] we were on the news and radio about how Myspace has helped us. But that’s just the perfect example of someone who doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. We actually had no idea what [Myspace] was.
