Found mostly in the center of stage behind his formidable drums set, Rufus is a multi dexterous rhythm machine; he plays with both hands and a foot. His other foot does things too, but it’s unclear exactly what those things are.

Fans often remark on how surprisingly tall Rufus is (6ft11), but it’s important to remember that during a large section of every The Darkness concert, Rufus is actually perched atop a drums stool. Watch carefully though and you’ll see him standing up for a few key moments; usually at the beginning and at the end.

His favorite drum sticks are made out of wood, and his favorite colour is probably blond.

Frankie’s father was an ice pirate from the future and his mother is French.

What makes Frankie tick? Bass. Japanese food. The small of a woman’s back.

Frankie is a sensual, sophisticated lover; a true provider. Approach with tenderness, otherwise he’ll be all over you “like a pig at a tatty”.

Daniel Francis Rossi Hawkins is The Darkness’ Captain Fantastic. A truly great guitarist. A brilliant producer. A fearless leader.

The lady contingent love to watch Daniel writhe in a circular motion while his fingers explore the fretboard, as if the rosewood was a hitherto unchartered hectare of rainforest gateaux. When the guitar squeals involuntarily to his touches, there is seldom a dry seat in the house.

With a loaded 6 string on his back, he plays for keeps and shoots riff-laced bullets from the hip, directly into your heart.

Daniel and his family live inside a giant amp.
