Arctic Monkeys played a teeny gig for an audience of 120 people at the Old Blue Last pub in East London last night. It was the first outing for temporary addition to the band, Nick O'Malley, who, as previously reported, is replacing bassist Andy Nicholson for the duration of the band's upcoming US tour.

The band played a selection of tracks from their debut album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' and from recent EP 'Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?' Frontman Alex Turner also confirmed that their new single will be 'Leave Before The Lights Come On', telling his audience: "We're going to play our new single for you now. It's straight out of the hit factory. This is our summer hit, watch out for it."
