Exclusive: Last Shadow Puppets Reveal Next Single
The Last Shadow Puppets dropped by to go through their debut album with Xfm's John Kennedy and revealed plans for the next single. Tune into X-posure from 10pm tonight for the full interview or catch a sneak preview right here.
The super duo - Arctic Monkey's Alex Turner and The Rascals' Miles Kane - sat down with John Kennedy to listen to their entire debut album 'The Age Of Understatement' and talk him through it track-by-track.
Revealing that the second song on the album 'Standing Next To Me' will be the next single to be released Alex Turner told John, "This was a song that Miles had for a bit."
"It was one of the first ones I played Al", Miles interjected "and he just said he really like it", laughingly adding, "Al added a D minor on the second chorus to give it an extra lift."
"It's gonna be the next single", added Alex, "we're supposed to go and film the video this afternoon but we've already done some in Madrid and now it's raining here [laughs]. It's gonna be a mad video...maybe we'll get umbrellas in it."
As to what actually brought them together?:
"Bread and crumpets", Alex and Miles both told John, "then music came later on. It wasn't even about the rider [when their two respecive bands toured together].
"I suppose it was [discussing how they both liked their crumpets in the morning]. That was when the friendship really started to set in the mould.

Great album guys, my tip: 'In My Room' – quite brilliant. Nice too to hear a couple of talented young lads dig out a great cover: 'In The Heat Of The Morning' I reckon Bowie was younger than Alex and Miles when he wrote it! They've surely got to release it now!
