The Darkness
Okay, so I saw a snippet of The Darkness over the weekend…I thought they were just another bad hair band from the 80's at first….or is that the point?
EAVIS 'MISSED THE BOAT'
NME news
THE DARKNESS singer JUSTIN HAWKINS has dismissed GLASTONBURY as the festival for â??buying funny hatsâ?, and has said organiser MICHAEL EAVIS â??missed the boatâ? when trying to get the group for the 2004 festival.
The band famously played bottom of the bill in 2003, when they were relatively unknown.
However, this year they will headline the Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds festivals in August, and will not appear at Glastonbury, who claimed the band would want much more money to perform this year.
Speaking in todayâ??s The Sun newspaper (March 30), the singer gave his opinions as to why.
He claimed: â??Eavis is a c**k. We don't deal with fucking arseholes. We were speaking to all the big events before Christmas and Glastonbury was on the list. But Eavis said he thought we wouldnâ??t be around for the festival in June. Itâ??s his loss. Our decision not to play Glastonbury is nothing to do with cash.
â??Of course we asked for a lot â?? weâ??re the best band around. Michael Eavis is just annoyed that he missed the boat. He came back to us after he realised his mistake. But it was too late. Weâ??d already agreed to do the Carling Festival for a lot less money. So heâ??s lost out. Glastonbury is all about sitting in a field and buying funny hats.
â??When I go to a festival itâ??s because I want to see bands and like the line-up. I never went to Glastonbury until we played there. Donâ??t bother with Glastonbury unless you want to stand in a field and be healed. Reading is about the rock."
Also already confirmed for this year are 50 Cent, The Offspring, Ash, Morrissey, The Libertines, Franz Ferdinand, The Hives, Lostprophets and The Streets.
This yearâ??s festival takes place over their weekend of August 27-29 at Richfield Avenue, Reading and Bramham Park, Wetherby, West Yorkshire.
Tickets are priced £105 for a three-day weekend pass and £45 for a day ticket, not including camping. Tickets are limited to eight per household. Each day the arena opens at midday.

I'm already totally sick of The Darkness and I've never even heard them.
Throat Problems Halt Darkness Tour
British rockers The Darkness have been forced to scrap dates on their first full tour because singer Justin Hawkins has lost his voice.
The "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" hit makers cancelled a concert in Cleveland, Ohio Tuesday night due to Hawkins' throat problems, and Wednesday night's show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was also cancelled.
The group hopes to be back on the road in time for their Philadelphia, Pennsylvania show Friday night.
In a statement released on Tuesday, a disappointed Hawkins says, "I am deeply saddened that we won't be able to play for our fans in Cleveland. Cleveland is one of the greatest rock and roll cities in the world, and we are all eagerly looking forward to playing our first gig there."
"Unfortunately, it is literally impossible for me to sing at the moment, but we promise to make it up to them just as soon as possible."
Most shows on The Darkness tour have been moved to significantly larger venues due to overwhelming demand for tickets.

Apparently their record company or promoter or someone thinks if they get their teeth fixed they'll be sex symbols. Man, that is CRAZY.
