November 3, 2025 (Calgary, AB) // Back in the day, the Calgary club scene was wild. Places like Franky & Johnny’s were packed, sweaty, and filled with the sound of rock bands who really meant it. On November 22, Darcy D, who is best known for his time with Simon Kaos and Prism – who were inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2023 – will be playing at The Official Franky & Johnny’s Reunion Party at The Arrowhead. Headed up by Franky & Johnny’s original owners, Frank and John Bitonti, the show will bring together a collection of music legends, including Chris Jericho of Kick Axe, Steve O’Donnel of Hostage, Johnny Harley of Smash LA, Todd Kerns of Age of Electric, Sherman Friesen of Witchhazel, and more.

Before Prism, before all the studio work, before speaking at conferences, there was Simon Kaos. From 1981 to 1987, Darcy D was the singer for this hardworking band, touring immensely and helping to shape the Canadian musical landscape. This reunion party serves as a chance for anyone who remembers the raw rock from that time to relive those days once more.
