The Darkness: New Album On MySpace / Drummer Ed Reply To Pete Doherty / Tour Dates 2006

GO TO HELL ...AND BACK WITH THE DARKNESS ON MYSPACE

Starting today, you can listen to The Darkness' new album, ONE WAY TICKET TO HELL ...AND BACK in its entirety exclusively on MySpace! It's all happening HERE.

DRUMMER ED ISSUES DENIAL

In response to a quote incorrectly attributed to me regarding Pete Doherty, saying that "I would like to smash him in the face really hard. I hate everything about him. He should be on the plate. Served up on Sunday, with a selection of veg..."

First of all, I would never say such a thing, and should I ever meet the guy, i wouldn't like to punch him in the face, nor eat him for Sunday lunch with vegetables. Random violence and cannibalism are not hobbies of mine.

THE DARKNESS ANNOUNCE FEBRUARY ARENA TOUR

Lock up your sons and daughters, because four-man rock machine The Darkness are all set to return to the stage, announcing an arena tour for February 2006. Debuting material from their new, every-song-a-classic album, 'One Way Ticket To Hell ...And Back' the shows will, as always, be so much more than just an ordinary live show.

The last time the band performed live was during their winter arena tour of 2004. In typical Darkness fashion, the tour saw them raising hell with some flaming incredible pyrotechnics, and charismatic frontman Justin Hawkins taking in the view from a lap of honour astride a life-size white tiger.

Every venue on the tour was a complete lock-out with 130,000 tickets sold, including the band playing a three-night run at the home of legends, Wembley Arena. Says Justin: "We are all really looking forward to getting back out there and playing live to our fans. It will be great to air the new album and new bass player, Richie Edwards, as well as some of our older classics."
