Darkwater were on tour now Nov 2007 -Nov 2008. In that short time, the band did over 100 gigs, festivals and live radio sessions, playing to thousands of people in the UK and Europe. There have been fantastic headline shows as well as support slots with Wolfmother, Primal Scream, Hayseed Dixie, The Rezillos, the Damned and others. The video for 1920 single (mixed by Scott Ian in LA ) is being played all over the world and also at Midem in Cannes. Thanks to everyone who has helped the band, especially John Wheeler and Scott Ian. It's been a fantastic year. I'm hoping to grab a wee ski trip now..
