Performance Review & Interview from The Williams Record
Dominique Exume, Williams student and contributing writer for The Williams Record, has written a very nice review of our most recent show at Rebel Sound Records in Pittsfield, MA, as well as a general overview of our present goings-on. From the article:

Three little gigs, a.k.a. This little giggy went to the market
The recent and timely arrival of 2010 means two things for Darlingside: the completion of our new home studio (and the resulting urge to use it), and the first real month of steady gigging.

Actually, technically, I’m writing from the Roger Preston Room, which is just the thirty-five or so square feet underneath my IKEA loft bed in the back corner of our basement. The rest of the basement is the band’s rehearsal [...]
