The Antarctic Monkeys, the UK's biggest Arctic Monkeys tribute act, play The Welly Club.
The Antarctic Monkeys are playing The Welly on Friday 4 December, a night dedicated to the songs of the Arctic Monkeys. They're a tribute act that's been around since March 2006, when they formed from a jamming session the same year the Arctic Monkeys released Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. Since then, they've toured the UK and Europe, taking the band's songs into intimate venues. Their live show mimics the style of Turner, Cook, O'Malley and Helders, and in 2009 they received approval from the Arctic's close relations, including Chris McClure, brother of lead singer Jon McClure.
They've played some fair-sized stages along the way: Rock Revolution in Sicily, Oxegen Festival 2010 in Ireland, and the Liverpool Mathew Street Festival, where they played in front of more than 50,000 people. They've also picked up coverage in Q Magazine, MTV and Sky News. The set is built around the Arctic Monkeys' songs, so it's a night for anyone who knows the records and wants to hear them played live.
The venue is The Welly, Hull's alternative night club and live music venue, which has been trading for over 100 years across three rooms, with a hidden 'Pub in a Club' called Mrs. Wilson's tucked inside. It's a well-known spot for live music in the city, and this is one of the nights they've got lined up for the end of the year.
