We have also started to book gigs for the spring and the first confirmed show will be in Söderhamn in the end of February. More dates will be announced later. 2006-12-24 Merry X-Mast and a happy new year! As a small Christmas present from us we have put up a new song - Circles - from our EP in the jukebox! Hope you'll like it! Time flies when you're having fun and yet another year is coming to an end. We would like to give a special thanks to all of you who has listened to us and giving your support during the year! We wish you a merry Christmas and an awesome new year! To sum up the past year… It started with that Malin and Robin parted ways with us and shortly afterwards we hooked up with Andy and Chrill. After been playing not more than a couple of weeks together we did our first gig with the new band. Since then we've played in several cities and festivals. We recorded and released our second EP “A million ways to fail” which was released in November. We also did our first live TV performance in the TV show “Rock n’ Roll TV”! It's been exiting times and we hope to see even more of you out there next year! 2006-11-21 A million ways to fail... ...but we believe that we made it against those odds and are really proud and happy with how the release turned out! Thanks a million to all of you who came down to Obaren and made it such a great evening, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! You can check out some photos from Obaren on the photo page - more will be up soon. More info » 2006-11-04 Welcome to our brand new website! At last - we bring you our brand new website!

We will make our first live TV appearance on Friday the 17th of November in the TV show “Rock n’ Roll TV”! We will play 3 songs and do an interview... Sweet!! You can tune in the show at “Kanal Lokal” if you have a digital TV-receiver. We’re going to be on between 17:00-20:00.. 2006-10-30 Working double shifts Although not much is showing on the surface we're working double shifts to prepare everything for the upcoming release of "A million ways to fail". The music has now been professionally mastered and the result is really great. The cover is designed and in the middle of this week everything will be sent to print. A brand new web site will be released by the end of this week! We hope that you'll enjoy it as much as we do. Don't forget to put up the release party, 14/11 in your calendars. It will be a blast! 2006-10-10 It started 5 years ago On the 1st of October 2001 we took the first fumbling steps towards what eventually would become the band we call DARN. When looking through the rearview mirror it seems like decades ago and luckily we will spare you of any audio clips of how it sounded back then... Actually it all started out 2 years earlier with me meeting up with Roger at a party through a mutual friend and we instantly found a shared interest in music. We decided to hook up and do some magic together, which we of course never did... We did meet at some more parties though but never actually got around to do more than play a couple of Pearl Jam covers under pretty heavy influence of alcohol... Moving on to the summer of 2001 when I met Isak, a new guy at work, who had played the drums a couple of years earlier. We started making plans of putting together a band and play just for fun. We got a rehearsal place but still we lacked a vocalist and that's when I remembered Roger, so I looked up his number. It must have been the most unexpected call he'd ever had. The conversation went something like this.. - Hi, remember me, Chribbas friend? We talked about playing together a year ago or so, remember? - Uhm... yeah - So I was thinking.. I'm putting together a band, do you wanna join? - Uhm... well.. but I can't really sing. - That's all right, we can't really play either! So what do ya say? - Ehh.. sure, Why not?! - Great! See you on monday! And just like that - we were a band and on the way of making some great musical history! When thinking back it was really one of those calls that turns you upside down and I think that goes for both of us. This was the beginning of something new and who knew where it would take us? Now, five years later, a couple of members have joined and parted ways with us. In a couple of weeks we're releasing a new EP and still I have the same feeling as I did 5 years ago... We're still at the beginning - where will this take us? /Matt 2006-09-26 RELEASE PARTY 14/11 To celebrate the release of our new EP "A million ways to fail" we want to invite you all to share this happy moment with us! Come down to our release party 14/11 at Obaren and get your hands on the brand new CD. The party starts at 20:00!

Actually it's not that big of a deal but of course we’re very flattered and proud to be a part of the project! It started a year ago when 5 students contacted us to be interviewed in a documentary film project about "underground rock bands". Of course we accepted and now a year later the film has been finished. The result is great and we're very impressed! The film also features live clips and interviews with 4 other great bands and a record company. The film is 45 min long and will be up on the website as soon as possible. Big thanks and all the best to the film makers: Jessika, Linn, Denise, Denize, Sofia. More info » 2006-01-12 Malin is moving on... ...or stepping back, depending on which way you want to put it. In any case she has decided to part ways with us to pursue other interests and takes a big piece of the band soul along with her. As she's been in the band almost since the start it's hard for us to imagine DARN without Malin and she will surely be missed! The remaining members have however decided to move on and will face the challange of finding a new bass player. The gig at Underground SWE, 20th of Jan, will be the last gig together with Malin and we promise to make it a "grande finale"! So we hope that as many of you as possible will come and give your support! More info » 2005-12-24 Merry christmas! Another year has passed and we would like to give a special thanks to all of you who supported us during the year! We wish you a merry christmas and an awesome new year! 2005 has really been a busy year... To sum things up; it started by the recording of our EP "Myopic truth" which was released in April 2005. We had a great release party and lots of other gigs! During the summer Chris dropped out of the band and after testing a lot of good drummers we could finally welcome Robin in the band. We also got several articles published in the papers and more airtime on college radio stations than ever! Our song Snap was also signed to Warner Bros-TV. It's been an exiting time and we look forward to next year and starting to record new song and also try to gig more outside Stockholm.
