Who can take a sun rise? Sprinkle it with dew? Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two? Well Darwin Deez can.

So, just what do you do after you’ve spent the past year generally becoming one of the most offbeat and cherished pop stars of recent times? Why, if you are Darwin Deez, you go off and create a full length rap mix-tape created entirely from samples from the 1971 surrealist children’s classic “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” of course, roping in friends like Dev Hynes, KOOL AD from Das Racist and Chiddy Bang and, naturally, you then decide to give the whole thing away online.

Today’s NME features Darwin Deez on it’s cover – yes the COVER – as he has placed a fantastic (lucky) number 10 in their annual Cool List.

It’s great fun, we love it and Darwin is obviously cooler than Jay Z.  You can see the full list in this weeks edition, where there is also a feature on Darwin and a fantastic pic of Darwin holding a doll, or at NME.com.
 

Hot on the heels of his current sold out 17 date UK October tour, which began this week in Manchester, Darwin Deez is announcing a new 9 date UK tour for early 2011.   

Starting once again in Manchester on February 24 at Academy 2 and ending up at Concorde 2 in Brighton on March 5, the run will also include Darwin’s biggest UK show to-date on March 3 at the 1,400 capacity Koko in London. Support will come from the amazing Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.

This autumn has seen Darwin inch ever closer to bona fide pop superstardom, with his upcoming single “Constellations” making its way onto the Radio 1 B-list as well as forthcoming appearances on the Radio 1 Student Tour with Mark Ronson and the Live Lounge on October 19 with Fearne Cotton at Lincoln University.

 This tour will further cement Darwin Deez’s reputation as one of the brightest new stars in the pop firmament, and one of the most unique and unmissable to boot.  Tickets for all 2011 shows went on sale today at 9am.  Full dates and flyer below. [ read more ]
