About Me

The Wasted Freaks are the creation of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Randy Pike. A self-recorded solo project, the outcome of each record is just as if there were 3 or 4 people in a room together, making music. Expression as a multiple personality.

"As Oasis are to the Beatles, The Wasted Freaks are to Nirvana, the Vaselines, and Sonic Youth. The difference is that those bands were groups of people working together to create a full, lush, minimally sparse sound; The Wasted Freaks is one guy in his bedroom. Which is kind of amazing when you hear it." - Ginnie Moon (www.lunar-hypnosis.com)
