ARCTIC MONKEYS PREMIERE NEW DVD IN LONDON

Arctic Monkeys premiered their live film 'At The Apollo' at an intimate screening at London's Rex Cinema last night (October 7), saying afterwards that it was the "right time" to make their first film.

The DVD, shot on film and directed by the IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade, who has previously shot the band's promo video for "Flourescent Adolescent," was partly inspired by great live films such as 'The Last Waltz' and 'Last Man Standing', the band told the 75-person audience at a press conference after the screening.

The 20-song show at the Manchester Apollo was recorded at the end of the band's 2007 world tour and has captured the band up close and with full honesty. The audience are only shown in between songs when frontman Alex Turner interacts with the audience.

Notoriously shy, Turner admitted that he doesn't really remember what he says on stage and seeing himself captured on film was a bit of an eye-opener. He said " I wish each had been a sentence shorter, or not happened at all. It's all off the cuff and I don't really remember."

Speaking about the fact that this is the Monkeys' first ever live film, Matt Helders spoke about having to get used to having so many cameras on stage with them, when in general they are uneasy with attention directed at them. He explained "Stuff like this [the conference] we don't know what we're doing. The cameras that night were for our benefit. We weren't reluctant like we have been in the past, this seemed like the time to do it."
