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.

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."

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
