Serious consideration being given. Cant afford ticket just now cause of Christmas but next wage and I am in. Cant pass up opportunity to see a show of this quality given it is only a 15 minute bus ride into town centre.

A new day and a new concert announced that I have to buy tickets for … The Darkness!
The Darkness are a UK rock band currently eeking out an existence on the periphery of the world music scene. Surrounded by a team of highly paid professional technicians, our heroes battle irrelevance in obscurity, paying themselves a meagre minimum wage so as to keep it real.
The Darkness’ live performances have become legendary. Or mythological.
The absence of an official live DVD means you have to witness a show first hand before you are entitled to slag it off. Then, and only then, may you slag it off. I wager you won’t, because the Darkness will make you shit in your pants, in a good way.
I’m resigned to the fact that I will never get the opportunity to see them live again. I actually asked my buddy Bob whether they would do shows in the US and he said ‘probably not’.
Therefore the one and only time I saw them was at a small gig in Milton Keynes back in ‘86
