The Randies

The Randies perform "Hyperion"

Like an ass-kicking harem, The Randies are fresh, energetic, and quickly staking their claim on rock’s testosterone-rich landscape. This quartet out of L.A. features two enthusiastic female vocalists/guitar players, Laura and Laurita, the brazen bass player Sienna, and the group’s lone man, Aaron, rocking out on drums. Since the release of the first album in 2004, The Randies have been on a tireless schedule — including a recent stint on Van’s Warped Tour— to promote a punk-influenced brand of power-pop throughout the country. Scheduled for release at the end of the month, the band’s latest effort Saw the Light (Elicit), promises something new while retaining the raw, honest, rock-n-roll qualities that made the debut album so popular. This Sunday (Aug. 13), 8pm, The Randies bring their passionate stage performance to the Icon for an evening of fast-paced, girl-punk fun. The Rainman Suite opens the show.
