Arctic Monkeys plot return to US
British alt-rockers Arctic Monkeys will return to the US this spring for a fresh slate of headlining dates in support of their latest studio album, last fall's "Humbug."
The group kicks off the 11-city trek April 1 in Miami, FL, and wraps up the somewhat brief outing two weeks later with an April 15 show in Tempe, AZ. Dates are shown at right.
Arctic Monkeys worked with co-producers James Ford (Klaxons, Last Shadow Puppets) and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures on "Humbug," the band's third studio album and the follow-up to 2007's "Favorite Worst Nightmare."
The video for Arctic Monkeys' latest single, "Cornerstone," is currently streaming at the band's MySpace page>. The album's third single and leadoff track, "My Propeller," is due March 23. A 10" version of the cut featuring three additional original songs will be available beginning April 13.
Arctic Monkeys formed in Sheffield, England, in 2003, about one year after singer/guitarist Alex Turner and guitarist Jamie Cook, both teenagers at the time, received their first guitars as Christmas presents. The four-piece rock outfit released its debut album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not," in 2006.
