Arctic Monkeys at The Apollo DVD/CD Giveaway

Arctic Monkeys at The Apollo
Arctic Monkeys at The Apollo

Been wondering what Arctic Monkeys have been up to lately? Well, aside from working on side projects, the band just (domestically) released a live DVD entitled Arctic Monkeys at the Apollo and here in the US it comes along with a bonus live CD recorded in Austin, TX. Because contests make the week go by quicker, I figured I’d give away a copy of this DVD/CD to one lucky reader who can tell me which Apollo Theater they actually filmed this show at. Email your entries to contests@bumpershine.com, a winner will be randomly chosen on Monday, May 25. (Sorry, contest is open to US residents only.)

Mercury Prize winners and the Grammy-nominated Arctic Monkeys are set to release ‘Arctic Monkeys at The Apollo’ on DVD/CD on May 5th, 2009 (Warp Films Productions). The 76-minute film documents the last performance of the band’s acclaimed 2007 world tour, which was at the venerable Manchester Apollo Theatre. Captured on super 16mm film, ‘Arctic Monkeys at The Apollo’ is a cinematic feast with impressive, intuitive and confidently held master shots – a film that invites the audience to immerse themselves in the style and force of the British phenoms as they deliver an energetic and impressive live performance in front of thousands of ecstatic fans. Directed by regular Warp Films music video director Richard Ayoade, captured exquisitely on film by director of photography Danny Cohen (This is England), edited by Nick Fenton (Sigur Ros documentary Heima), and produced by Diarmid Scrimshaw, this is the first ever live Arctic Monkeys performance captured on film.
