Arctic Monkeys are way more than just a band. They're a band that knows the value of a good video, right? Sure. This time they've got the semi-famous actor/director/writer Richard Ayoade to direct the video for their new single 'Cornerstone'.
At least we think it's the same Richard Ayoade, I mean, how many Richard Ayoades working in the media can there be? Not many, I'd have thought. Before you check out the video I'll bore - or interest - you with some of their forthcoming tour dates, taking in much of the UK. They're also playing Europe before and after, but you'll have to visit their MySpace to find those ones out, buddy!
UK dates:
November:
13 - Liverpool, Echo Arena 14 - Sheffield, Sheffield Arena 16 - Newcastle, Metro 17 - London, Wembley Arena 18 - London, Wembley Arena 20 - Birmingham, NIA 21 - Manchester - MEN Arena 22 - Nottingham, Trent FM Arena 24 - Glasgow, SECC 25 - Belfast, The Odyssey 26 - Dublin, O2
Here's the video, which features Alex Turner in a bright red jumper. Note the classic Terry Wogan microphone pose at 2:30.
