Darker is a duo from Tilburg (aka Kill!-Burn!), The Netherlands. This 'band' started in 2009 as a creative outlet for the post-teenage angst and frustrations of life of Donnie Darker and Evil-ien. Originally intended to be a one-man band, the both decided to forgo the logistical nightmare of having one guy carrying all the equipment and end up being alone in that dressingroom with too much food and drinks. And Darker likes to give alot. Especially on stage! As a consequence, Darker are 1 keyboard, 1 load of FX pedals, and 2 mics. They call it crunk rock, while others named it emo-rap, singer/songsampler, noisepop, crunkcore. Darker don't care what you call it, as long as it's not minimal. Coz Darker are maximal - a two piece band trying to sound like a five piece band. Maximal fun, maximal Rock n Roll, maximal beats and boost. Supporting Darker gets you into Heaven. Really! - no questions asked. KISS OFF and dance like a robot!!!



DARKER
Opgericht in 2009 te Tilburg.
Muziekstijl: hiphop/crunk/emo-tronic/singer-songsampler

Darker is een groep uit Tilburg. De band bestaat uit het duo Donnie Darker (rapper/zanger/producer/instrumentalist) en Evil-ien (zangeres/rapper/ontwerper). Darker probeert een ander pad te bewandelen door maffe filmpjes (DDTV), kunst en muziek te maken. Eind 2009 kwam de EP \'Darker is the new Black\' uit en sindsdien is hun mix van emo-tronic, crunkcore en hiphop al een boel mensen opgevallen.\r\n\r\nVergelijkingen met 3OH!3, Brokencyde, House of Pain, De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig werden snel gemaakt door fans en journalisten.\r\n\r\n\"Het maakt ons niet uit hoe onze sound noemt,\" vertelt Donnie D., \"zolang wij er maar een feestje mee kunnen maken!\"\r\n\r\nEn dat daar wat hokjes voor omver getrapt moeten worden, hoort er een beetje bij.\r\n\r\nHou Darker in de gaten!
