Husky News (circa 2000)
Having embarked on a new life of no fixed address in an Airstream motor home, Darvill’s upcoming plans for the year 2000 included an “American trailer parks adventure” in the summer, and regular band tours in spring and fall. Joining him: the Son of Dave Band — musicians from England and Canada. An eclectic and electrifying live show, mixing songs, wild instrumentals and acrobatics with the blues, hip-hop-western, and heavy dance beats.
