About Me


The Also Rans Live at the Hurricane

Add to My Profile | More Videos

Sometime in October 2006 we played our first show as “The Lowlights”. Then we discovered some weird dude with a sitar in New Mexico already had that name, so we went back to a name that was, ironically, the second choice of an old Denver band. It was at that moment that the Also Rans were born.

The Also Rans are:
Adam “Chachi” Seitz—Drums, useless cymbal washes, unnecessary copy editing and general “Chach-like” behavior.
Christopher “The OC” O’Connor—Bass, vocals, being “the glue” and listening to things that should be read.
Dan “The Loud One” Gedman—Guitar, vocals, A.D.H.D. and being “that guy”.
Frank “The Little Parm” Oviedo—Guitar, occasional yelling, cool kid cred and remembering shit.

See you soon,
The Also Rans

The Band, Jill Sobule, and a soapbox I may not be qualified to occupy.

So I was watching one of those cable channels in the 200s last night and stumbled across a "classic album" show on The Band's self-titled second record. Other than possibly having the dumbest band nam...
