Anyone who knows me knows that I love Darren Criss! He is so adorable and lovely and sweet and just all around amazing. Anyway, a few years ago, he went on tour and it was the happiest moment of my life! I was able to score a ticket to go see his show in Philadelphia (by a miracle I might add because everyone wanted tickets! It was legitimately like the Hunger Games) and I was not disappointed. Amazing songs both original and covers, I couldn't ask for more. But that was pretty much it for him in terms of music that wasn't broadway for quite a while. (And believe me when I say, I loved him on Broadway regardless, I was just hoping for more original music from him.)
Until last week.
He dropped a bomb on all his fans last week when he came out with a video of himself and his brother Chuck Criss announcing they would be forming a band (Computer Games) and their first show was in a week! (This Wednesday to be exact) Queue a million and one fan girls screaming at their phones and computer screens (myself included)! Darren fans have been waiting so long for new original music from him and we are finally going to get it!!! I am beyond excited about it and as of now I have only heard about 15 seconds of one song but that 15 seconds is amazing! I can't wait to hear more and I hope they come to Philly sometime so I can try to get tickets. Anyone else who loves Darren Criss or just enjoys good music, feel free to follow their website www.weplaycomputers.com
Stay tuned for more info as new music comes out!!
Also, if anyone is interested in listening to Darren sing both original songs and covers, he has a bunch of stuff on YouTube (his early covers of Duck Tales and A Whole New Wolrd are two of my favorites) and you can check him out on Glee!
