3/2/08 - THE ROADHOUSE RULES!
We want to thank the good peeps who showed up last night at the Roadhouse. You know I didn't expect Patrick Swayze to show up like he did - because as you all know, that's where he bounces and kicks anyones ass who is "giving you trouble". Anyway his roundhouse to my head was amazing! Thanks to Pinion and Tiny Machines for sharing a night of chaos with us. Charles good to meet ya bro, your band kicks arse. Guys check Pinion out live, these MP3's online don't do them justice. SPECIAL thanks to that one slab of odd low ceiling that Ryan kept smashing his guitar into on purpose and eventually smashing his finger on the third song into somethin purple. His finger looks like a punk rocking breakfast sausage link now, it's SO metal \m/

6/19/05 - "BOB" THE NEW BASSIST
And then they were whole... We are pleased to announce Randall Flagg is once again complete with the new addition of Bob Davodian on bass. Bob has always been striving in the
underground and pursuing heavy forms of music. Bob is active in the death metal band Divine Rapture (www.divinerapture.net)
with currently one world-renowned release on Listenable Records
and incidently working on a new 2005-06 release; and his own neo-symphonic death metal project.
"I feel that heavy music means being honest and true to how one feels while moving
others in that creation. It is carnal arousal as well as poignancy. It's the honest expression of all emotions without compromise and conjecture to a standard. For this reason,
I'm proud to be part of Randall Flagg as well for they are another vessel in expressing a heavy music."
-Bob Davodian
5/3/05 - "Z" THE NEW DRUMMER

Thanks to everyone who came down to the Pussycat Lounge Saturday night. It was great to see so many old faces showing their usual diehard support for us. We'll see you all at the Third Rail when we get the date finalized. Later
2/11/05 - TOM IS LEAVING RANDALL FLAGG
"It is with much regret and a heavy heart that I'm announcing my retirement from Randall Flagg; the Pussycat Lounge show and the rescheduled Third Rail shows will be my last times playing bass for
Randall Flagg. I've had a lot of fun playing in the band, and it's gotten me through some tough spots in my life. The friends I've made and the fun times I've had will always be remembered fondly,
but I've recently been alerted that space-zombie monkey-cyborg ninja-pirates from 5 billion A.D. have invaded what will become Nova Scotia in 2532 B.C., and I've been called by Cyber-Jesus #39467
(pronounced 'HAY-Zoos') from dimension Gamma Sigma X34*Rupert that I am the only one with the knowledge required to overcome the looming threat of their nuclear-powered phase-stealth dookie cannons.
Hopefully, my experiences as the bassist from Randall Flagg have prepared me well to face the challenges of this post-apocalyptic past and prevent the enslavement of primitive mankind from their
fate as space-zombie monkey-cyborg ninja-pirate robo-flea picking slaves. Since history has yet to be re-written and the world has not changed around us, I can only assume that my mission will be a
success, but at what cost, I cannot say.
My time-travel belt with matching gloves and derby hat should have enough charges to allow me to return to the present to attend any further Randall Flagg shows. I've left Ryan a gopher-powered
space/time email generator communicator ring to contact me in any times of dire need. Failing that, Adam can always reach me telepathically." - Tom Piascik
So we ask that everyone come to Tom's last few shows with us and show your support. Tom has been a huge part of this band since the beginning and he'll be missed. But the Flagg will forge on into uncharted waters!
And anyone who might be interested in playing bass for the Flagg can get more info here. See you all at the Pussycat Lounge on Saturday!
