Who we are
Random Addictions is a performance collective with bi-coastal experience. Whether you like funk, rap, rock or you're a B-movie junkie with a hankering for some lo-fi sci-fi, there's something here.

What is a Virtual Band anyway?
Remember Boston? (the band not the town) Their first - and arguably best - album was made when all the members lived in different parts of the country. Session tapes were flown around so each member could add their parts - they were never in the same place at the same time! Yet the music is great, the album fluid, and the band sounds, well, like a band.

Virtual Bands (that's plural)
Random Addictions has taken this concept even farther by creating a multitude of bands featuring some of the hottest players and writers that you may not heard of yet. All have substantial street cred and believe that good music can't be pigeon-holed into bite-sized pieces - just play the music and sort it out later. And that's just what we've done...

Press Info

In less than 2 months, Random Addictions has had 3 songs in the Broadjam Top 10 charts: Shield Around My Heart (Rock - Modern), Eye Foreign Eye (Electonic - Dance, Georgia) and Baby (Rock - Funk)
