The Darby Crash Band was a music project started by Darby Crash and Pat Smear, founding members of the Los Angeles punk rock band, The Germs, formed after the band split in 1980. They recruited Circle Jerks drummer, Lucky Lehrer, as well as, David "Bosco" Danford to play bass and began playing shows in Los Angeles. The band's setlists would include a number of well known songs from The Germs' archives, as well as newly written material. The band never recorded and played only a small number of shows before Darby's death on the 7th of December, 1980.

There are no studio recordings of this band available, however a digitally remastered live recording of the band playing at The Starwood, in Los Angeles, is due for release on CD format. The CD should be available by 2008.
