THE DARKNESS
theactualdarkness.com
The Darkness first came on the scene with their debut 2003 album, Permission to Land, and quickly gained this reputation for putting on some amazing elaborate live stage shows. There was also a lot of backlashes for the makeup and ridiculousness of it all, but I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
Although the band was generally loved, they broke up in 2006 due to lead singer Justin Hawkins' "alcohol and cocaine problems" (according to the tabloid newspaper The Sun). After a five year break, The Darkness came back with Hawkins, once again as frontsman.
Anyway, they've proven they can still play with the best of them, having just opened up for Lady Gaga on her 2012 tour. The British glam rock band is looking forward to doing their headlining tour with the "Let Them Eat Cakes" 2013 World Tour. The name is obviously taken from their latest album, Hot Cakes (released in August 2012 via Wind-Up Records.)

TAILOR
thisistailor.com
"The Dark Horse" is the debut solo album from Tailor (aka Melanie Le Roux).
Tailor explained the title, "I felt like a dark horse that day. I felt as vulnerable as I did as a child. The songs aren't about any particular childhood event, more that moment of clarity when you realize not everything your parents told you is true; when you discover your values are different and what you’ve grown up believing is not what you believe in at all."
Listen to "Wolf" on Soundcloud:
Tailor is playing at 2pm at "Park Acoustics" music festival in South Africa in late November. Click on the link below for details about the event.

BRIEFLY:
