Name: Darren Townes (a.k.a. Fat Daz)

Birthday: 03 July

Musical background: I started playing bass seriously at the age of 16 when I'd just left school and went out looking to join a metal band. I managed to join a band which lasted for ten years before disbanding. During that time I gained playing experience supporting Soulfly, Group Dog Drill, Pitchshifter and Skindred on anumber of gigs whic gave me the passion to want more and the desire to find a band that had the same drive and commitment ath I had. This is where I met Exoterik.
