Article: The Darkness 10/27/15

UK madmen Invade Irving Plaza. Say that five times fast cause The Darkness easily became my top show of 2015. The well-lit, powerful performance of The Darkness was held on stage, off-stage, in the audience and all over the show floor. No place was safe from lead singer Justin Hawkins, as he jumped into crowds, piggy-back rode a VIP members shoulders while playing his wireless in a parade fashion across the audience, rubbed his Gibsun on speakers and even threw guitar picks at women’s cleavage. The showmanship from The Darkness was something I never thought can happen and it freaking did. I captured the ENTIRE show, thats how enthralled i was to be there. Check out the photos below and the set-list from the night.
