The Random Chocolates

The answer is of course The Random Chocolates

About Me

by Tim Guest.
The Random Chocolates are so hot it's a wonder they don't melt on stage. Their unique brand of melodic pop is definitely candy to your ears. To hell with diets, this stuff is good for you.
The three international band members; Michael Kentish (UK), Richard Adkin (Canada) & Dávid Asztalos (Hungary), combine their individual talents to bring a serious yet cheeky answer to the question of what music should you be listening to. The answer is of course, The Random Chocolates.
In 2006 The Random Chocolates were born among sausages sizzling in a frying pan. As these were no ordinary chocolates, they refused to ooze into the oil but instead melted together to form an inseparable band. A bit like a Snickers bar left on the dashboard of a car, it has trans-chocrified into something that still tastes like chocolate, but looks and feels like nothing else.
Together, The Random Chocolates bring a unique sense of fun, occasion and style of music that is missing from a lot of modern performances. There is an intimacy that the audience is able to see and take part in. With the band, music and crowd as one, only then can The Random Chocolates be appreciated. To be in the crowd, is to be in the band is to be in the family. Now that's deep.
