Band: THE DARTS
Who: Steamy garage Amazons based in Seattle, Washington,
fronted by charismatic singer-songwriter Nicole Laurenne,
also operating solo as Black Viiolet

Track: MIDNIGHT CREEP
The first single from their forthcoming LP, their 6th, named
Halloween Love Songs. It’ll hit our stereos on March 3rd.

Press info: “‘Midnight Creep’ started as a surprise curveball when ‘rythm section bitch’
Lindsay brought Nicole a demo called ‘Phantom Creep.’ Nicole was already quietly writing a Halloween-themed album and immediately heard a chance to chase something different.

An honest-to-ghoul old-school monster dance, the kind that might’ve aired on a haunted Shindig episode taped in a basement full of fog machines and paper-mâché bats. She rebuilt the tune into a slinky, organ-driven earworm; Lindsay created a simple, go-go-friendly choreography; and suddenly The Darts had a Halloween banger that felt both brand-new and weirdly familiar.”

TUTV: As a longtime fan, news of new Darts music puts a big smile on my face,
and lately it happens every year. I actually don’t know what Nicole Laurenne eats
or drinks, but her production flow is off the charts, with the band and solo.

Look, I’m smiling again. New album in March, new single today.

Midnight Creep is vintage Darts frenzy. Sizzling, blistering, and red-hot-blooded. Laurenne and her sidekick, her organ, lead the hungry troops once again. The piquant buzz and fuzz at play here ignites all of your limbs and makes you jump like a kangaroo from left to right and back.

The always black-dressed glam she-devils look sexy, play sexy, and sound sexy
(on record and on stage), and thanks to them, it’s Halloween every single day of
the year, from now on. This new smashing pumpkin is perfect to open and end
all creepy midnight parties. Bullseye!
