The Darkness will hit the road in North America starting next March to bring us all sweet, sweet heavy metal riffs. The tour is in support of the new album Motorheart, which you really ought to check out.
"You there, in the Americas — hear me, and hear me well: The Darkness know your pain, know that you have cried yourselves to sleep every night, bereft of quality English rock music," said vocalist and guitarist Justin Hawkins. "Well, desist from weeping and pull up your fully grown adult pants — salvation is upon you!
"As doctors, we UNDERSTAND the healing power of rock music and we have instructed our minions to make arrangements for us to visit your moderately distant shores. The cryogenically sealed Tupperware box of roadies has been set to 'Thor' and the mighty winged chariot has been dusted off. Remember — one lick of Darkness sweat and you will be cured — you will literally walk again, without COVID or anything! But what price freedom and eternal life, I hear you ask? To you sir, about thirty bucks (plus local taxes and booking fee). Now get the fuck in!"
