I'd love to go, but I don't have any tickets, and the only two songs I know by them are shit.

I saw the Darkness at the Isle of Wight festival in about '03
They're not a band I'd want to see twice. I only saw them the first time because the Isle of Wight festival only has the one stage.

The Darkness were shit when they were 'good'.

They can't even attract decent looking groupies.

I'd like to go, even though I only know the one song.
Which sucks because I'm here, and all these twats are there, and they don't want to go.

If I lived in London
or could afford to get down there, I'd be up for that. I saw them at Leeds festival years ago and they were hilarious. Mostly hilariously bad, but in a fun sort of way.

Sadly I neither live in London or have cash, so... pointless post is pointless, really.

I saw a brilliant video of Rory Gallagher doing some song live the other day
and I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Well annoying. It had some of the best guitar, bass and drumming I've heard in ages.

Taste’s ‘On The Boards’ and ‘Live at the Isle of Wight’ LPs are both superb.
My knowledge of the solo work of Ireland’s favourite alcoholic (apart from all the other ones) is nonexistent, though.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 8 Jun 2011, 13:53, Reply)

I am unfamiliar with his non-solo stuff
I can recommend the solo stuff. Or I could if I knew what any of it was called.

The performance I saw was live in Germany, and every song I heard was outstanding.

I remember going to see The Darkness at the height of their popularity in 2003
The gig was so popular that touts were hawking tickets outside the venue for eight times their face value. No, Monty, not £8. This was before the world decided they were a one-note joke band, and promptly forgot how much fun they can be.
