Why
Uhh Random Bunch as a name?
We all wanted to have a unique name but nothing seemed to fit a description of us. Since we have strange interests we consider ourselves "random"- unorganized in the things we like and do. We are also a bunch because we are not an ordinary group. Sometimes we invite people to play along with us. The "Uhh" replaces the "A" for A/Uhh Random Bunch and it is what we say when we don't know the answer to something :)

Do
you have other parallel bands or do you play in other bands?
I,
George, play lead guitar and sing half the songs for Radarmen. Chuy
plays drums in his own (Ska, Powerviolence, Reggae, Trucha Core, and
Experimental) band called J.J. Suave. They are also from Eagle Rock.
All of us including Julian from Radarmen and Peachy, Psychobilly lady
from LA, jam out once in a while in a project called Rumpus Time.
Chuy is starting to produce and write music for different artists and
rappers.
Influences?
We were inspired by many of the obscure psychobilly bands -The Skrunch, Rockin' Bones, Es Feiv, Scared Stiff, The Meantraitors, and more. Overall we enjoy all other genres of music.
Other influences would be strange sounds, the supernatural, cognitive behavioral therapy, science fiction, the subject of God, Pizza, and the past lives/customs of older generations.We have listed a variety of films we enjoy and are inspired by-A Bronx Tale, Pan's Labyrinth, The Shining, The Godfather, Midsommar, The Exorcist, David Lynch's films, and the old Twilight Zone series.

Do
you have something recorded? Tell us what you have. Are you going to
record something soon?
We
have a 5 track demo out there somewhere called the "Voice Memo
Demo" that we recorded ourselves in 2013. It sounded like shit.
We are trying to release an EP by early 2020. We will be using better
equipment this time. Chuy will be engineering and producing it.
