Oh, and btw, they are not exactly HUGE in Britain, althought they have been reasonably succesful - they almost had the Xmas number one, which is a big thing in the UK, but is often won by novelty records - they lost out to the Gary Jules cover of Mad World.
They are not exactly the leading lights of the UK indie or rock scene, more like this band that gets a lot of radio time and a lot of 30 something people listen to and think are "really good fun" - I still maintain they are just a joke, and they are certainly not here to last.
Dizzee Rascal is the darling of the UK music scene at the moment, not people like The Darkness.
