DARQUE CARNIVAL
Darque Carnival, which includes Pasquale Zagari (guitar), Rick Brenner (drums), Isaac Harris (vocals), and Tim MacDonald (bass) came together in May of 1999. Since that time Darque Carnival has played over 100 shows with such acts as Dope, Testament, 40 Grit, Deeds of Flesh, Nile, December, Witchery, Pissing Razors and dozens more! Besides the music that Darque Carnival plays, DC has a show rich in theatrics, including a 6'8" firebreathing vocalist. The band hits the stage in a wash of candles, skulls, lights, and even a ten foot spinning ferris wheel which includes skulls for baskets. Darque Carnival tours throughout the west coast (primarily Northern California) so if you ever get the chance to see a DC show be prepaired to be taken for a ride with the Carnival!!!! New album in stores soon! Check www.darquecarnival2.com for details.
