The Randies facts for kids

The Randies were an exciting punk rock band with all female members, formed in Los Angeles, California. They became quite famous, even appearing in Blender magazine and being chosen as the featured artists on Fender's website. The band released two full music albums and created two music videos from their second album. They loved to travel and perform, often touring for months before returning to California. One of their biggest shows was at the Vans Warped Tour in the summer of 2008.

The band stopped playing together after April 2009. This happened because their van, which held all their instruments and equipment, was stolen in Silverlake, California. This unfortunate event occurred the night before a planned concert.
