Shockwaves NME Awards 2008: Arctic Monkeys win Best Video Award

Arctic Monkeys have won the Best Video award supported by NME TV at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008 for the promo for their single ‘Teddy Picker’.

The video features the band performing an energetic version of the song live in the studio.

Receiving the award from presenters Lauren Laverne and Chris O’Dowd, the band said: “Thank you very much. Everyone appears to have woken up in the last five minutes, a bit of a hosepipe drought before. The first five minutes reminded me of a school assembly.

"Thanks very much for this, Roman Coppola was the one who directed this, so a big shout out to him.”

The other nominees for the Best Video award were Bloc Party (’Flux’), Justice (’D.A.N.C.E.’), Klaxons (’Golden Skans’) and My Chemical Romance (‘Teenagers’).
