Running
to the media pit as the stage curtain drops, I
had the honor to witness The Darkness shake up
a roaring audience of well over 4,000 fans at
Verdun Auditorium. These new embassadors of rock
from the UK have landed in Montreal on their busy
North American tour to bedazzle us with their
sexy power chords and delicious guitar riffs.
With such high energy flowing between the band
and the tightly packed crowd, The Darkness definitively
put the "FUN" back into rock.
Taking
a moment from ripping it up on the guitar, Justin
(vocals) shares falsetto parts with the spectators
as he invites them to belt out the last verse
of "Get Your Hands Off My Woman".
The needle never dropped an inch on the energy
meter as the dynamic duo Dan (guitar) and Frankie
(bass) crossfire each other to keep the fans busy
from one end of the stage to the other, all to
the backing thundering drums of Ed Graham.
Taking
interaction to the next level, Justin hovers into
the crowd during a guitar solo with the aid of
his security crew to add even more fuel to the
total pandemonium.
If
you missed this show, be sure to keep your eyes
peeled for the next landing arrival of The Darkness
closest to you as they will surely take you on
for the rock ride of your life.
