Random is a four-piece rock band from Chicago. The band began in high school with current members Bill Kovacs and Tom Shallcross covering classic rock songs at local carnivals and events. Random continued to write and learn more covers which lead them to playing local bars at the ripe old age of 16. Several name changes and guitarists later, Random progressed down to Champaign for college where they met former guitarist Vik Chaudhry.
With the members graduating from Illinois and moving back to Chicago, Random is ready to quit dabbling in the Chicago music scene and take it on full force. In the summer of 2006, the band decided to thicken their current sound by adding Chicago-native Devin Flahive on guitar. Taking less than a month to get situated with their current line up, Random now has all pieces needed to take off. Random has played the likes of many venues in the chicagoland area, including: the Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville, Cubby Bear North, Joe's on Weed St., the Ven-U in Joliet, LTs in Rockford, Uncle Fatty's, Idol's in Palatine, Emerald Isle, the Elbo Room, Underground Lounge, Wise Fools Pub, the Big House, Red Line Tap, Roscoe Village Fest, and much more. Random is ready to extend their fanbase which already consists of hundreds of fans and friends whom are either originally from Chicago, or have moved up to the city after graduation.
Random currently consists of Bassist/Singer Bill Kovacs, Guitarist Tony Notardonato, Guitarist Devin Flahive and Drummer Tom Shallcross. These dedicated musicians have been influenced by a variety of bands ranging from Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, Weezer, Moe, Foo Fighters, The Who, Sublime, Local H and many more. These influences can be seen at some of the bands shows where they decide to cover 1990s rock anthems. Whatever the case may be, the band can play a 3 hour set of all covers at a sports bar or rock out their own originals at a local music venue.
With already existing connections in Chicago and, Random is lined-up to play in front of a huge crowd on any day of the week. Throw in the bands natural talent and continued perseverance, and Random will find a way to be successful in Chicago..
