Darke Horse - a Sheffield-based funk/rock band

Darke Horse have been chosen from over 4000 bands in Britain to showcase for an American/Australian/Japanese tour - part of the 'Britbus Tour. We're playing Plug, Sheffield on 2nd June. Please come down to support us to show the record company that we are the ones who should be rocking out across America and Australia! See below for details...

As proud members of the British independent music scene, we're out to prove that you don't need to sell your soul to a big company just to get in the charts. That's why we're independently releasing our debut single Flat Screen Suicide!

Look out for it on iTunes from March 2nd...

In case you've missed the huge box lurking just above this wodge of text, it contains the brand new video to Flat Screen Suicide. Just a mere click will ensure it swings into action in all its video glory...

Not one more body could have been crammed into The Grapes as Darke Horse played live and loud in Sheffield. Photos of them storming through their set can be seen here. Missed the Grapes gig? Check out their other gigs here.

Introduced by the moustachioed master of rock Jimmy Coup, the all-new Flat Screen Suicide video was previewed to a packed Common Room accompanied by much whooping, hollering and banging of heads. (Somewhat drunken) photos from the night are below...

Want to sneak a peek at the all-new video for Flat Screen Suicide? Then get yourself down to the Common Room at 8 PM on 7th August where the band will be screening the video, strumming a few songs and sipping more than a few beers. With a guest appearance from Jimmy Coup (of Andrew WK/Party Hard/Jackass the Movie soundtrack fame), it'll be more than your average night at the Forum…

Not content with simply releasing Flat Screen Suicide, the boys have been busy shooting the accompanying music video with Salford-based film company Finite Productions. Flat Screen Suicide will be available to view in all its visual glory at the beginning of August...

Darke Horse have just recorded seven songs during a week-long studio session with the writer/recorder/producer legend that is Alan Smyth. Smyth has worked his musical magic with many a Sheffield hero, including Arctic Monkeys, Reverend & The Makers and Richard Hawley, so what wizardry will he have worked for the boys?
