Line 24:
They are generally portrayed in a negative light - in their very first mention in "[[Road Worrier]]", Daria said the name sounded like a Doors tribute band and Jane laughed that they ''wish'' they were that good - and the few of their songs we get to hear are rubbish. Even ''Trent'' once said the songs in the second set were so lame, he'd leave the gig if he wasn't in the band ("[[Jane's Addition]]").
Despite all this, they keep getting gigs, both in [[Lawndale]] and elsewhere. They've performed at [[Brittany Taylor]]'s birthday party, a kids party in [[Fremont]], the Club Glamour Lounge near [[Ashfield]], various dives across [[Carter County]], and regularly in Lawndale at both [[McGrundy's Brew Pub]] and [[The Zon]]. Their website states "We are available for weddings, sweet sixteens, bar mitzvahs, acquittal parties, keggers. Not too early in the day, please... Cash, check, or barter accepted." A genre magazine named [[Smudge Magazine]] gave them a (ludicrously purple prosed) favourable review, calling them a "convincingly tormented quartet", while [[Muck & Rage]] gave them a bad review because the reviewer was a surly douche and thought Trent looked like the type of boy his ex-girlfriend liked.
They [http://web.archive.org/web/20001005035541/mtv.com/mtv/tubescan/animation/daria/homepage_041699/index.html had a website from 1999], fronted by Trent, where you could book them, join their fan club ("Make a stand against corporate rock (until we sign a record deal)"), and see their lyrics. Max set it up. It's very clear on the site that they need money badly.
