Arctic Monkeys and The Like at The Rave/Eagles Ballroom
It would have been perfectly reasonable to think Arctic Monkeys would fade into oblivion fast during their hyped rise just a few years ago, but here they are still. The post-punk upstarts from Sheffield, England, made a brash early move with their awkwardly titled debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, and they've worked at expanding a sound that begs for expansion since. Favourite Worst Nightmare, from 2007, burst with the kind of energy that Arctic Monkeys ooze, and now it's time for Humbug, a new album out now that stands as the band's third for the increasingly cool indie label Domino.
