ARCTIC MONKEYS @ DISCO RODEO TONIGHT

British indie rock outfit  Arctic Monkeys formed in 2002 and by 2006 were on a meteoric rise to fame.  The release of Whatever People Say I am I'm Not garnered record breaking sales in Great Britain and quickly thrust the band into the stratosphere somewhere between The Strokes and Cold Play.  An appearance on Saturday Night Live was their high water mark as the rest of the indie culture exploded with bands forming exponentially all over the US and Britain.  Not to say The Arctic Monkeys are any better or worse for the ware, but their popularity has evened out to a level manageable enough to have them on stage at The Disco Rodeo as apposed to say the RBC Center.
