The New York band We Are Scientists hope to use Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders when theyre going to tour the festivals this summer. The Scientists are still searching for a drummer after Michael Tapper left the band in 2007.\"Matt played with us on the Album Chart Show recently and he fitted right in. We got to know the Arctic Monkeys when we did the NME Awards tour with them in 2006.\"
After that Arctic Monkeys asked We Are Scientists to support them on their US tour. Continues Chris:
\"Matt got on stage with us a couple of times and played drums on our song \'Great Escape\', and Alex Turner played guitar and sang backing vocals. One thing people probably don’t know about Mr Helders is that despite being in one of the biggest bands in the world he’s always on the look-out for work and a bit of extra cash. If you’re a half-decent band you can expect to receive numerous emails from him offering his services and telling you how reasonable his rates are.\"
