British rock band, The Darkness brought a wonderful show to The Truman in KCMO on a lovely Tuesday night this month. This tour was to honor the 20th anniversary of their debut album, “Permission to Land.â€
The Darkness songs that night consisted of the entire album with a few bonus songs as well. This show was so full of a kind of energy unique and fitting to their style of rock. At one point the band’s frontman Justin Hawkins did a handstand in front of the drum set. This was my first time seeing The Darkness live and needless to say I left impressed.
Their hit song “I Believe in a Thing Called Love†was just as amazing as one would think! If this band comes to KC again, as they have many times before, it’s a show worth attending!
