The Darkness cometh for your daughters!

I've just had to splash myself with cold water: the Darkess have announced they are coming to Israel to play a one-off gig! Apparently inspired by Madonna's recent announcement that she intends to perform a couple of shows this summer in Tel Aviv, and in a bid to promote world peace, they have decided to follow in the footsteps of such great entertainers as Jason Alexander and Brad Pitt...

The one-off show, which is currently penciled in for the British Embassy car park sometime in mid-June (might get a bit cramped...), now depends on the tour schedule of their chosen Israeli support act, Dana International. Yalla Dana, don't let us down! As lead singer Justin Hawkins put it: " After seeing before and after pictures of Dana, we realised that the combination of our two acts could scare the Middle East into peace!"
