"Listen to the dark poets"
By Premeditated Media
We don't take ourselves entirely seriously here in our underground nuclear bunker... we occasionally like to have a giggle. Here's a spiteful little slice of black humour we arranged as a viral advertisement for this here website...
...so far it's proven to be the least successful viral video advertisment campaign in internet history. Hence, we're either doing something wrong or as ever we're just ten years ahead of pubic taste...
Decide for yourself...
feel free to post, blog, reguritate, analyse and meme this video to the planet and show your support before somebody asks us to take it down... errr... that's if you feel like it of course (No pressure!).

New Gary Lucas Vs The Dark Poets Site and Jazz Cafe Gig Rumours...
Firstly, A large number of internet gig date listings and ticket booking agents are claiming that The Dark Poets shall be supporting Gary Lucas at his upcoming Jazz Cafe date for October 3rd (The date was originally scheduled in July - and we were booked to support Gary... However, Gary had to pull out at the last minute and he decided he'd rather keep the next rebooking of the gig there an intimate affair). So we shall not be supporting him on this occasion.
However...Gary is WELL WORTH checking out and we thoroughly encourage you to witness the man at his art...He's truly something else. So book your ticket to a show...this man forges dreams from his guitar. Check www.garylucas.com for dates.
...or buy tickets to the Jazz Cafe gig here
Staying on the Gary Lucas Vs The Dark Poets theme... a flash new album site for 'Beyond the Pale' has gone up at www.garylucasvsthedarkpoets.com - If you're not aware of our album with the award winning guitarist, this site makes a nice introduction. Check it out...
