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..

Lets see. I graduated from Western Illinois in 2006 and it was definitely a fun but quick four years. I played soccer there and won back to back conference championships. I work at the Chicago Board of Trade in the S&P 500 futures. I like doing whatever to have a good time. I play guitar in a band called RANDOM. You should check out our myspace page and come to one of our shows. (just click on the banner). I love to play and watch most sports. I love music, especially live. I am never really sarcastic. I love sleeping in. I like random roadtrips and meeting new people. I like to wakeboard/snowboard and working out. I love the Cubs, Bears, and Bulls. I like the White Sox as much as i like guys wearing two collared shirts or popping their collars. I like playing board games and drinking games. I think its funny when guys are serious about dance offs in bars, so i like to join in with the occasional leg grab and other stupid moves. Shopping at the salvation army is good. I like wearing hats, mostly because i dont like to get my hair cut.
I like dogs and im always just trying to have a good time

Random,

Just finished editing and mastering the video from Saturday's blow-out mega show.

Once again I feel like the crowd really had a great time.

Mahon definitely had a few drinks but really seemed to be losing himself in the music 0:08 into the video.

That mosh pit looked out of control.

Tom, great job on those drums at 1:54. You looked great.



Weird wardrobe choice by Flahive at 2:33, but that's how Devin is, he's unique.

Kick ass show guys.

Rock and roll guys.

I finally was able to put together that slide show of pictures from your show last Saturday.

There is a rumor floating around about the lead singer and the girl from 0:23, but I'm sure nothing happened.

Glad to see there were a lot of enthusiastic fans out there. You guys have quite a following.

JOEE

Heard you guys really "rocked out" this weekend. Since I'm typing this you can't tell I'm being completely 100% sarcastic.

Not only that, I heard you racist pricks played extra long so the black rappers couldn't do their set. I take it you fuckin small timers will be playing at the upcoming Ku Klux Klan rallies, racist tricks.
