Well, if they are, don’t tell Alex Turner, lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys.
Turner has announced that he has created a pop supergroup made of up of fellow British musicians. The Arctic Monkey revealed to the British newspaper <I>The Mirror</I> that he, along with Lily Allen, Dizzee Rascal and James Righton from the Klaxons, have begun recording a new album as a group – although neither the names of the debut nor the band have been revealed.
While Turner, Allen and Rascal have worked together in the past, this is the first time the three of them have worked with Righton, whom they recruited during England’s Glastonbury Festival, which took place this past weekend.
So far, no other news has been made available except that the record, according to Turner, “will be out before you know it”.
I am not holding my breath for this music collaboration. No, wait, actually I am. That way I will be dead and I won’t have to hear the horror that usually comes from such unholy unions. I mean, what supergroup actually succeeded? Gorillaz? They had to turn into freaking cartoons to get along. I don’t know about you, but I am all set on going 2D to get famous. …Or am I? So hayyyyyy, any you readers happen to have a penchant for drawing and drum machines? I’ll pay (in Fritos) and you play. Is that too much to ask? Fine, Doritos but only Cool Ranch, and you better not touch the couches. Or at least sit on the plastic-covered ones. What?! My parents are immigrants!

I guess I didn’t realize Gorillaz was a super-group and the Artic Monkey’s are okay, but then I have an odd fascination with primates regardless of silly humans naming themselves after them. Thanks for the info.
Anyway Alex, I enjoy the way your articles starts with solid info and then progresses to the funny and sarcastic editoral. Nice.

I didn’t particularly like them, but wasn’t Audioslave alright? All those Mike Patton supergroups are okay too. I think the heavier the music, the more likely a supergroup is to work.
I saw the Klaxons here in Denver. What about them is super?
