They met their lower end, Dave Childs, and went on playing with variousdrummers and percussionists, including Dave'sbro, Martin.In April 98, dtv played their first gig withSonnenblume and ThinKing at Steamers Pub inVictoria. Their new drummer of 3 days, Darren Clarke, did the favour of learningthe songs and played great. *(Hey Darren, werecently played with the drummer from ThinKing and he forgives you for bleeding on his kit!)After a couple of shows, Darren left the band,and the current drummer, Dave Nowotniak, joinedand didn't go away.
