The Darcys gave everything they had to the packed sweaty room. Dressed in their usual stage attire of mix-matched suits and ties, they unleashed their hectic post-rock cacophony upon listeners that looked as if they werent ready for it.

The crowd begged for "one more song from the Toronto-by-way-of-Halifax quintet, so they whipped out their incredible cover of Final Fantasys "The CN Tower Belongs to the Dead, which was transformed into a guitar-driven anthem every person in the room could shout along to.
