Le Pub d'AutoProd & Business (Ex - marché du disque c'est la cata!)

Citation : Ouais, personnellement j'ai découvert les artic monkeys sur Oui FM et nulle part ailleurs, ensuite une fois largement diffusé c'est vrai que la presse, les présentes comme une révélation issue du monde "myspace"....

pour eux finalement la promotion myspace est le résultat de leurs années de concerts et de travails.

C'est vrai que le fond est moins vendeur que la forme, c'est ainsi.

Citation : the band rose from the ranks of an Internet phenomenon to the biggest band in the U.K., all on the strength of early demos circulated on the Web as MP3s. Those demos built the band a rabid fan base before the Monkeys had released a record, even before they played more than a handful of gigs. In effect, the group performed a complete run around the industry, avoiding conventional routes toward stardom, which paid off in spades. When Whatever People Say I Am hit the streets in January 2006, it sold a gob-smacking 118,501 copies within its first week of release, which not only made it the fastest-selling debut ever, but it sold more than the rest of the Top 20 combined -- a remarkable achievement by any measure.

Citation : Unlike many of their contemporaries, who were marketed and advertised extensively by record labels, Arctic Monkeys achieved their success through fan-made demo tapes and online file-sharing, with fans singing along at gigs of songs which had never been officially released,[2] leading media commentators to discuss the possibility of a sea change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed.[3] The band resisted signing to a major record label, even banning talent scouts from gigs. Eventually, the band signed to independent record label Domino Records, releasing their first album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, which charted at number one and broke the record for the largest first week sales of a debut album in UK history.

Citation : They began rehearsing at Yellow Arch Studios in Neepsend,[17] and their first gig came on 13 June 2003 at The Grapes in Sheffield city-centre.[18] After a few performances, they began to record demos and burn them onto CDs to give away at gigs. With a limited number of CDs available, fans began to rip the music back onto their computers and share it amongst themselves. The group did not mind, saying "we never made those demos to make money or anything. We were giving them away free anyway — that was a better way for people to hear them. And it made the gigs better, because people knew the words and came and sang along."[16] They themselves took no responsibility for their music, admitting that they did not even know how to get their songs onto the Internet.[16] When asked about the popularity of the band's MySpace site in an interview with Prefix Magazine, the band pointed out that they did not even know what MySpace was, and that the site had originally been created by their fans. "[When we went number one in England] we were on the news and radio about how MySpace has helped us. But that's just the perfect example of someone who doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. We actually had no idea what it was."[16]

Citation : Sans Internet les artic n'auraient jamais été le phénomênes qu'ils ont été

Citation : la réalité c'est qu'internet a eu énormément d'importance sur le succès des artic monkeys

Tout ce truc "le groupe découvert grâce à myspace", ça a été pénible. Je ne sais pas comment ces sites fonctionnent, je n'ai jamais téléchargé de musique de ma vie. Ce sont nos managers qui ont monté cette page...
C'était, pour la presse et l'industrie, une raison commode, paresseuse, d'expliquer notre succes, en négligeant totalement le travail de fond que nous avons fait pendant des années, en tournant sans répit, en construisant petit à petit un public, ...
