Random Shadows started out in June of 2001 when Joe and John started playing guitar after school acouple of times and later decided to start a band. John brought in his friend Bon for drums and the 3 of them started to get down. After awhile they brought Ryan in on bass who was in acouple of bands with Joe before. Things were going alright but we needed a singer so after talking to people Justin came over acouple of times but for some reason nothing really ever came of it. Acouple of weeks later Chris the singer of Joe's last band(Difusion) asked to join with the bands old drummer Rich as the backup singer. With this the band Deadlock formed. That name lasted about 3 weeks and after doing our first show at Bons Block Party which went over ok for a first show the band kicked out Ryan, got rid of Rich and changed the name to Random Shadows.
The line up of Chris, Joe, John, and Bon lasted from that point until mid december. After Chris canceled a huge gig back in October the band was ready to get rid of Chris but decided to hold out since they had a show lined up in December. At the December show bassist Pat made his first and only appearence with the band, due to his work schedule he isn't able to have time for the band. When the show was over Chris said he needed time off so he could go be a Mummer for the Christmas parades so the band gave him his time off by throwing him out of the band and replaced him with the first singer to ever play with the band, Justin.

For over half a year things we're going ok with Justin but could have and should have gone better. In early September the band replaced Justin with Brian. This is where the current line up of RS kicks in. Among the last year we've gone through alot as a band but with the 3 original members still kicking ass and Brian on vocals the bands been doing great.
