British band The Darkness rocked Boston last Sunday night, on the final stop of their Motorheart Tour. With their distinct brand of modern glam rock, the band attracted fans of all ages, some dressed for the occasion in animal print, hats and faux fur coats. Greeted by the band\u2019s giant logo on the stage, fans were certainly ready for a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dead Deads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nashville-based punk rock band The Dead Deads kicked things off with a short but high energy set. Both inviting and defiant, the band won over the crowd with tracks like \u201cDeal With Me\u201d and \u201cIn For Blood\u201d. Sporting their signature X\u2019s over their eyes, The Dead Deads\u2019 sound is irreverent and contagious, the best way to kickstart a rock and roll show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Darkness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Darkness would take over shortly after, starting off with \u201cWelcome Tae Glasgae\u201d, a track off their newest album Motorheart. <\/em>Lead singer Justin Hawkins is on a league of his own as a performer: dancing, jumping, doing handstands, all while hitting all the high notes fans are accustomed to. Hawkins even spotted an 11 year old fan right on the barricade on one of his many interactions with the crowd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show was a seamless blend of new tracks and classics off their debut album, Permission To Land. <\/em>From \u201cMotorheart\u201d to \u201cLove Is Only A Feeling,\u201d the evening was a non-stop rock and roll party. The encore would be mega hit \u201cI Believe In A Thing Called Love,\u201d but the Boston crowd would be treated to one last song to perfectly wrap up the tour, \u201cLove on the Rocks With No Ice.\u201d After jumping on guitar tech Ian Norfolk\u2019s shoulders, Hawkins went around the crowd playing guitar as fans went wild.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justin Hawkins jokingly asked the crowd if they would return to see The Darkness regardless of what they look like, and the answer is an obvious yes. The performance is so fun it makes you want to come back over and over, like a good rollercoaster ride. With the tour over, make sure to check out the new album Motorheart <\/em>until next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
