I’m Outta Here
ď‚—Mike Darby and the House
of Cards Band started in 2007, playing gigs in a small New Orleans bar called Check-Point Charlie on Saturdays.
Checkpoint Charlie 501 Esplanade Ave. New Orleans
ď‚— Since they didn't
come on until at
least until 2 a.m., locals referred to
this madness as "Darby till Dawn" or "Sunday School with Reverend Mike Darby."
ď‚—Playing these late night gigs
turned out to be a big plus in the band's development.
"There was a lot of freedom playin' at Checks, and we had time to get our chops up and work out the songs." drummer Tony Frickey
