Drummer for the Adam Zadok Band - and - - PRESENTS - • TUESDAY • NOVEMBER 27 • 2007 • • Peabody's Concert Club • 2083 East 21st Street • Cleveland, Ohio • as part of FUSE TV's BODOG Battle of the Bands Semi-Finals! "Soliloquy" " ...in the driver's seat." No... he's not hepped up on goofballs, he's Randy Kaus. Men want to be like him and women think they can change him. He loves asses and spends his career sitting on his; he's a man whose face is a virtual cash register. Randy arrived in Upstate New York from Hollywood, CA. While eking out a living there, he hosted a popular home improvement TV reality show where the closets of gay celebrities were secretly remodeled. It was called, "While You Were Outed." After relocating to New York, he quickly hooks up playing drums for the most popular punk bands in the area. Once established, Randy honed his drumming style into a hard hitting, power-pop sound. Leaning towards the fringe of the music world, he was immediately drawn to the punk rock movement of the late '70s and early '80s. It is strong, pure, and real... a complete departure from today's watered down, over produced corporate rock that's spoon fed to the public. Being weaned off the proverbial "teats" of The Clash and other iconic punk bands of the era, Randy has the acute ability to combine chaos with a clear head. Laying down a rock solid foundation, Randy's philosophy of, "Let the bass and drums be the canvas; allowing the vocals and guitars to paint the picture..." is a remarkably refreshing and unpretentious approach. Randy has performed in well over 20 rock bands throughout his career. Playing the drums for some 25 plus years, he developed his signature sound from studying four decades worth of influential drummer's styles. After years of pounding out original punk and straight ahead rock in dark and dirty nightclubs, Randy unselfishly gives back to the community by donating plasma at the local flat screen television factory. Fulfilling his need to become a multidimensional performer, you can now add acting to Randy's list of credits. In the independent film release RAW HELL, he plays a notorious mob hit man. The films big screen debut was a huge success selling out the entire theater. Randy also contributed to the movie by playing drums on the film soundtrack. It was a pretty cool feeling having the movie poster hanging next to such Hollywood blockbusters as "Fantastic Four" and "War of the Worlds." Ever the philanthropist, Randy founded AAAAA: the roadside assistance program for drunk drivers. Among other interests he enjoys watching cartoons. His favorite used to be "SpongeBob SquarePants" until he found out it wasn't about contraceptive devices. At a time when a pure pop rock impulse is being ignored in favor of brooding impression, it's reassuring that Randy hasn't abandoned his goal. "I don't get it when people say just a pop rock band," he explains. "I think being in a brilliant pop band is the highest thing you can aspire to be. Pop music is something that's both throwaway and something that changes your life. That's what I want to achieve... disposable brilliance." Randy's heavy signature sound has propelled him to the top of the food chain. And now, a star of stage and screen, the planets have aligned for Randy... placing him firmly in the driver's seat.
