He looks great for his age.

Happy Birthday, Darian!

He came to L.A. in the 80s. The Wondermints started in the early 90s. The maths add up ...

I know, I know... but still: only 20 years younger than Brian? :o

How old is the rest of his (once-)kiddies band nowadays? ;D

Probyn turned fifty last year on the day of their second Italian gig. Most of the rest of the band are around that age, give or take.

Incredible. Would have guessed he was in his mid 30s

Happy birthday Darian

50 is the new 20, and I won't be "20" for another 4 years!   ;D

Now, about that hair......   ;D

Wow that's crazy!  I knew he was in his 40's, but I always thought he was on the lower side of it.  Whatever his "secret" is, it's working marvelously!

I thought he would be closer to 40  ;D Great singing and apparently a very great man! Well wishes to him!

Wait, wat. Seriously, I thought he was in his 30s, too.

Does the press still refer to Brian's band has "Wilson's hot-shot young band"? Ha. It was funny to hear that knowing they were all in their 40s.

Darian looks terrific. I guess playing great music does a person good. Happy birthday, Darian!

Happy Birthday, Darian!

Now, about that hair......   ;D

Mikey - the ladies must like his "do" - I've been at "Brian" shows where girls were hollering out "Dar-ien..." à la  the old Denny Wilson shout out days!

Darian  - Fifty is just nifty!

Thanks for your contributions to the SMiLE live project and your enthusiasm for this beloved and unique Beach Boys sound.

And, for your work with Brian over many years.

A Smiley brew for you - enjoy your day!  :beer

I forgot to wish The Bequiffed One a fantastic 50th birthday fest!

Dear me.

Darian: congrats, man, and heartfelt thanks for directing that fantastic troupe of musical upstarts, as well as enabling the Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE extravaganza to become solid reality.

I will have a fine drink in you honour tonight. Well, at least one, that is.

And I just turned "24".  :angel:

My wife sez I will never grow up, ha what does she know!

Most 50 year olds I know don't look like they're 35. Playing music for a living and not having to hold down a "real" job must be the trick. Plus, Darian always seemed way too "hip" to be from my parents' generation.

"In their 40s" is incredibly young! And from April 2014, 50s will be bloomin' young too!

not having to hold down a "real" job must be the trick.

Gotta disagree with ya.  It's pretty much all genetics.  I'm a year and a half away from my 50th, I've been a "working stiff" steadily since my teens (and I've done some real s#it jobs, 12 hour days, etc), and everyone says I look like I'm in my 30s!

I've played music quite regularly for years, and it has been very stressful at times.....but I love it, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

I'll even go further saying Darian seems at times like in his late-20s. Lucky he is! Belated Happy Birthday wishes to him from me! Stay around with Brian & make the newly new music!
