Darrin and Jason

Harry and Jason began their musical career by recording themselves singing ad-libbed lyrics to instrumental music playing on a radio. Darrin and Jason's musical career went through a similar phase.

Darrin had been a friend of the studio for many years. He and Jason wrote their first song, "Fatty Fatty 2x4", in grade school. Darrin provided the lyrics and Jason played the piano.

But it wasn't until the fall of 1988 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 sessions of these singing drives. In January of 1989, 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. January 29, 1989, was the last time they recorded a session this way.

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 ("Go Disco!" from Underwater Problem Factory) appeared on the 1994 Binary Pipedream album.
