HILARIOUS DIGITAL DUNGEON STUDIO VIDEO

At first it was a story board video but we thought it was hilarious the way it was so it got posted on the interweb.

ENJOY!

DEREK and "THE TOE" were calling

DON'T FORGET!
NEW MUSIC VIDEO TOMORROW! - WED 27TH JULY

So Derek keeps calling and leaving messages this one with my sister Charlotte. So this will be the second of the "DEREK WAS CALLING" series.

AND on another note... DOESN'T anybody have even a GUESS as to the identity of the guy on the T-Shirt?

SOME OF THE ANSWER to WHO THE F*CK IS DARCY

Darcy is a professional actor. He's been a dramatic singer since a young age, having sung in choirs and school musicals. He's appeared in dozens of plays and films, and is presently based in Toronto where he studies improvisation at the Second City Training Centre. Here is a sample of Darcy's work: (Thanks to THE FED PENNIES for their song BASTARD in this demo reel.)



Darcy watched the band develop, and when he was in town he would be in the jam room playing along.

After a few jam sessions Derek thought to put a microphone in Darcy's hand.

The result was DT & The Wizzards with an extra D...

...or DDT & The Wizzards.

However, Darcy, the singer, is an illusion.

The Wizzards are the catalyst for the lyrics. Darcy conjures up characters to sing, talk and rap with the music.

With the addition of Darcy, The Wizzards began to solidify their style which might be described something like: Jazz-Funk-Gothic-Rock. Darcy focused on the Gothic sound with a narrative approach and a celebration of the macabre.

It became clear to Darcy that the band should not change its name to DDT & the Wizzards.

What Darcy does, with each song, is create a new Wizzard.

The Wizzards, with Darcy, is an event that may bring Warlocks, Deamons, Conjurors, Ghosts and more...
