Darrin has been a friend of the Studio almost longer than anyone else. He and Jason wrote their first song, "Fatty Fatty 2x4", in grade school. Darrin provided the lyrics and Jason played the piano part.
But it wasn't until 1988 or 1989 that Darrin and Jason rekindled the magic. They would "cruise around town" and sing along with songs on the radio, making up their own lyrics. It wasn't long before Jason started taking his tape recorder with him when they cruised. They recorded a few tapes of their singing. Near the end of this short music career, Jason put together a tape called "The Best of Darrin and Jason" which included their favorite songs. The tape was never an "official" album release, just something made for Darrin and Jason to hear.
Darrin also made appearances with other projects through the years. He was part of a few Two-Tones recording sessions. He was the saxophone player for the Traveling Deengelburys. And he recorded a few songs with Mune Mud (providing lyrics and some drums). One of his songs with Mune Mud appeared on the 1994 Binary Pipedream album.
With his hectic schedule he has not been a part of the Studio's music for quite some time. He is always welcome to contribute but chances are Darrin's days at Metal XOR Studio are over.
