Tabloid Tales: the Arctic Monkeys look poor on the dancefloor

Have the royalty cheques not started rolling in yet for Mercury Prize winners the Arctic Monkeys? Seemingly not, judging by comments from their girlfriends in the Mirror today. "We have to get pissed before we go out because we can't afford it otherwise," says frontman Alex's girlfriend Joanna, backed up by bassist  Matt's other half Amy: "I'd love to come to London more often, but being a poor student I can't afford it much." Tsk, so much for my visions of a champagne-and-caviar lifestyle for indie-band WAGs.
