The Random Concept was formed in Western Connecticut in 1965 and was part of the NYC music scene in the late 1960's, when it lived and rehearsed at the now infamous Hotel Albert in Greenwich Village. Three of the original members, Gary Higgins, Dave Beaujon and Terry Fenton, remain. Simeon Coxe (Silver Apples) was an original member, as were Jake Bell and Ronnie Bailey. The early original work of the band centered on improvisation, and in this context they experimented with the Andy Warhol group during the late 1960’s; an example was adding improvised rock music as Donyale Luna read aloud from the newspaper. Dave, Gary, Jake and Terry determined to take their music to another level and retreated to Connecticut, where they supported themselves by playing cover songs, while developing a high level of skill in improvisation. This had the effect of creating unique rock music, most of which occurred in magical moments and was never heard again. In addition to performing with the Random Concept, Gary Higgins (Red Hash) went on to do several other musical projects, as did both Dave Beaujon (Crowbar, Sportswear) and Terry Fenton (Sportswear, John McGill Jazz Group). Pigeons hail from upstate NY, and consist of Wednesday Knudsen, Clark Griffin and Rob Smith. To date they've released LPs on Black Dirt and Olde English Spelling Bee and Soft Abuse. Mie will issue their next LP, The Bower. http://www.therandomconcept.com/ http://pigeonsband.com/
