The Darkness for Christmas?
Published September 30, 2003
The Darkness' Dan Hawkins has been commenting on his band's attempts to get the Christmas number one with '(Christmas Time) Don't Let The Bells End'.
Speaking to Virgin Radio the guitarist said: "The Christmas number one is what we're going for. It's a masterpiece - a true work of art that will be around for years to come. There was the option of releasing it slightly earlier and not going up against the big guns like Cliff Richard and the Pop Idols for the Christmas number one, but we think we'll give it a shot - it's about time there was a rocking Christmas. We're shooting the videos this week, I've just jumped in a swamp having been chased by spear-throwing natives and have been attacked by a crocodile. This combined with jet-lag and a slight hangover is just a great combination."
