Nick O’Malley, best known as the bass guitarist and backing vocalist of this
band. He is an English musician born on 5 July 1985. O’Malley states that he
picked up the bass guitar at the age of 16, after ambitions to play the drums
and guitar were rejected by his father. Before joining Arctic Monkeys, he
played the bass guitar in local garage rock band The Dodgems. He was a
temporary replacement for bassist Andy Nicholson when announced he would
not make the band’s tour in may 2006. He learned the whole band’s debut
album in two days. O’Malley was only expected to continue until Nicholson
had fully recovered, Nicholson’s departure from the band saw that O’Malley
become a full-time member.

founding member of this indie rock band with whom he has recorded six
studium albums. Helders is married to the model Breana McDow, they have a
daughter Amelia. Matt lives in Los Angeles. In 2019 he filed for divorce.
It's hard to believe that when Helders first started playing drums in the band in
2002, he’d be performing and collaborating with the likes of Josh Homme and
Iggy Pop a decade later.

We decided to make this presentation about Arctic Monkeys because we saw
that we all had similar taste in music when we were telling each other what
bands we listen one of the first that came into the conversation was Arctic
Monkeys
We all love this band and they have an amazing history that we think
everyone should know and listen to their music.
