"5 To-See-Live"

1. DARBY: This band spits angst and does so with precision.

"Crowdus Street Festival"

Rocking harder than most fests that take place in the Deep Ellum area, Crowdus Street should be the perfect hangout for the types that wouldn’t dig Rock Lottery. Headliners Fair to Midland have made quite a national—international, even—splash this year with their prog-y, thoughtful metal, but other treats include openers Darby, who bust hard rock out of its usual restrictions.

"At Home With Darby"

Being there and experiencing the music gave me goosebumps and a permanent smile from ear to ear. Yes, it was that good!

Bio

***5/16 - HOT TOPIC in-store acoustic @ Vista Ridge in Lewisville from 7-9pm***

darby won the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands and opened up the Dallas Taste of Chaos date 4/1. They drew over 800 at the House of Blues - Dallas for their EP release party, and were recently featured as the "Pick of the Week" on IndieSolo.com.

darby has been perfecting their sound since 2004 and somehow still manage to live under one roof. Not exactly a typical rock scene: 5 guys...a NICE house in a suburban area outside of Dallas...on a golf course. Driving down the street, you'll see neighbors sitting on their sidewalk with a glass of wine, soaking in darby's rehearsal through the walls of their poorly sound-proofed practice space (upstairs living room).

darby encompasses every angle of great rock. They appeal to crowd-surfing teenagers and musically educated adults, leaving every crowd full of energy yet exhausted from a great show. This energy has scored darby endorsements with Godin Guitars and NYC Alchemy. They have shared the stage with glassjaw, Evans Blue, the Burden Brothers, Fair to Midland, and have participated in many respected festivals.

The band's first 3 years were spent locally, finding their fit in the Dallas music scene. Partnering with management Relish Entertainment in early 2007, darby has quickly pushed their way to the front of the line. They recently recorded their first EP "The Clearing," produced by Alex Gerst and Blue October's platinum recording artist Matt Noveskey. darby will be back in the studio to record their first full length album. Also, look for their feature this June in Unsigned the Magazine!

2008 is their year...keep an eye on these guys and you'll soon discover you won't want to look away.
