Darla Farmer ON TOUR

About Me

When attempting to describe our sound, we often find ourselves at a loss for an adequate, all-encompasing, verbal description. Here are a few words that others have used to describe the sounds we make:
Unpredictable. Scatter-Shot. Experimental. Dark Horror-Punk. Bizarro-Pop. Cabaret for the Dementedly Cynical Generation. Experimental-Latin-Skank-Swing. A Collision of Ska, Rock, Jazz, Rockabilly, and Folk with the Frantic energy of a Rabid Barking Dingo Who is Frothing at the Mouth.
We think we are somewhere between those words.
“...wild, dark, violent, and simultaneously heart-wrenchingly beautiful.” - Decoy Music.
"The creativity quotient must be through the roof, and the band is forging ahead into uncharted musical waters." - Hot Wax
"This extremely eccentric group spew musical venom" -Eventful.com
"Their ramshackle mix of blasting trombones, trumpets, violins and keys results in skin-piercing music that lands somewhere between a frightening nightmare and a comforting dream." - Nashville Scene
"While the gypsy/punk/ska interface prides itself on toeing the line of violent anarchy, this lot seems more the type to fall to mumbling, twitching sleep in a heap at the end of the night, all wine mouthed, still clutching their instruments and plucking a lullaby. Adorable." -SoundProof Magazine
