The Unknown: Arctic Monkeys - Live at KCRW 2005

Lately, the Arctic Monkeys have been stirring up a lot of excitment on the live front. Just a few months ago, the band previewed new songs in concert, prompting rabid anticipation that a new album would be just around the corner.

Now, this week, the band releases a Live CD/DVD to very little fanfare. How little? Well, I'm sure most of you are learning about this as your reading my blog...and the album's already been out for a few days. The DVD chronicles a spectacular show at the Apollo in Manchester, which was getting rave reviews when it was released last month in England. But now in the US version, the band has added a bonus 10-song live CD from Austin, Texas. And anything musical that comes out of Texas has to be good.
