Hot Leg Review - first Hot Leg Review EVER?

Was as we expected, maybe hotter, certainly smellier than I would have liked. We spent the evening secretly wishing they would play some songs that we knew - not necessarily Darkness songs, but maybe some cheeky covers, tipping their hat to their ref...

Slight repost

Reposting from popex to here, as it's quite newsy:Tickets appear to be on sale now for a couple of Darkness dates in February! They're playing Manchester MEN Arena on Saturday 18th and Brighton Centre on Tuesday 21st... these will be the first dates ...

Hmm: "Recently our company released a string quartet tribute to The Darkness. I would love to send you a copy for linking, reviewing, posting, whatever you think your viewers and patrons might be interested in"... it's on www.vitaminrecords.com appa...

Darkness review

Not worth reposting it here, it's up on popex, you can read it there... a good night, as I've said before the best thing about Brixton gigs is I'm allowed to go in the Wetherspoons beforehand. Clare's not keen on that pub (The Beehive), and it's easy...

I HEART DAVE GROHL

He wrote as arts correspondent for the New York Times this week - he likes The Darkness and agrees that The Pixies are the most influential band ever, more or less... read what else he has to say at www.fooarchive.com/gpb/nytimesreview.htm...

RE: Darkness Music Passport review

no Pet Shop Boys review? For shame!

Pauly, King of the Ligers

Once upon a time there was a little boy called Paul. He blagged his way onto Big Brother 2001 and met a girl called Helen. He was very happy. He realised that blagging was good. He endeavoured to never spend any money ever again. Now he lives in a ca...

Must have been standing right next to you - was also next to their parents last night!

Darkness Music Passport review

If you are Clare's brother and you're still smarting that we went to The Cure on Friday, then please turn away now... gone? Right, we also went to see The Darkness last night, doing another Music Passport show, and probably it was the highlight of th...

Kalala

Went to the new Chinese restaurant / bar in Folkestone before the Darkness gig (my Darkness review is up now), and it's not bad. It's a buffet style restaurant, so it's not really competing with the Hop Kweng, but it's much nicer than the other "all ...

Folkestone, you have embarrassed yourself

Putting on a varied bill, is it a good thing or not? I was quite entertained by pop acts being thrown onto the Reading Bill, seeing Kevin Rowland in a neglige, was a particular treat. I've even seen the Manic Street Preachers, so I've seen some bad c...

Unusual U2 gig

Hello all, I am BACK after another days holiday, I was down in Folkestone to see The Darkness and Goldie Lookin' Chain, review and pictures later... First, maybe you can help with this request, anyone here old enough?Visited your site & was wondering...

No more 106

In an attempt to make this less boring, I'll not be mentioning the 106 bus for at least a week. I was going to post up a picture of how someone had hacksawed away a part of the luggage rack on a train, but I think that would only have reinforced the ...

Don't Let The Bells End

Let's set aside for a moment that any sort of "homecoming" for The Darkness should certainly be at The Barfly in London's very own Camden Town, as it's where they did their first half a dozen or so proper gigs. Last night's show at The Astoria was a ...

Permission To Land

The Darkness have exceeded all expectaions with their mighty debut "Permission to Land". Favourites like from the live set are reproduced faithfully (ie with volume cranked and all swearing intact, cheers) and new fans will find all of the singles so...

It's the vinyl countdown

You've obviously not forgotten that The Darkness album Permission To Land is out on Monday. Popex' very own copy is apparently winging it's way to the office RIGHT NOW, so another sort of review of it tomorrow... Anyway, the album is also out on VIN...

Tasks

BACK in the office today for a meeting, so preparing for that... DANN rain overnight meant water was flowing in the bedroom window again. SMASHING barbecue at the weekend, now have to decide if we can find the time to go to on holiday with the same c...

Last night ROCKED!

All three bands were ace, the Barfly was heaving... Kennedy Soundtrack are like Rage Against The Machine or something, but their singer went a bit Manson in places...Span look all new wave, but sound fierce. I dont' know how to describe them, but the...
