Hot Leg’s Hot Press

I seem to have gotten at least part of my Christmas wish — it appears that former Darkness frontman, Justin Hawkins, has indeed gotten his shit together. He is launching a new project called Hot Leg which sounds like it totally rocks (no ocarinas and harmoniums for these boys). But here’s the local connection… listed among Hot Leg’s influences on their  myspace page is none other than the Upper Crust. We are all connected.

After two years of sobriety, The Darkness’ former frontman Justin Hawkins has formed a new band called Hot Leg.

“Four men with at least one machine apiece operating in pitch-perfect harmony,” reads a post on their MySpace page. “Who could ask for more?”

The foursome have set up a small August tour.

Catch them at:

August
08 London, Proud Galleries
09 Birmingham, Barfly
10 Manchester, Roadhouse
11 Glasgow, King Tut’s

For tickets, see www.aloud.com.

Their debut will be released later this year through Barbecue Rock.

Music: The Darkness

I’m not sure how I can defend myself here. I loved their pop-metal hooks, infectious melodies, face-melting solos. They were an amazing band. Gone now, but now has two children: Stone Gods and Hot Leg. The latter is a band started by The Darkness’s former frontman: Justin “dave” “turbo””swinger”Hawkins. The album will drop some time this fall.
