The Arctic Monkeys are to get a "kick up the arse" from Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme when he takes over production duties for them next month.
They will abandon their native Sheffield and head for Rancho De La Luna studios in Joshua Tree, California, Homme's favourite studio where he has produced his own outfits QOTSA and Eagles Of Death Metal, as well as Mark Lanegan and PJ Harvey.
Homme explained: "I think they just want to experience something that's opposite to what they're used to [in the UK] and it's a good place to go to ... make some music for the sake of making music."
The sessions could end up as Arctic Monkey's album number three, which they are currently working on. Drummer Matt Helders recently commented, "We're all into Queens Of The Stone Age. When we got to play with them and see them live [in Texas last year] it gave us a kick up the arse ... They show you can still have top tunes and loud, heavy songs, too. It's a lot more fun playing loud music - simple as that."
Um.. Excited..Can't wait
