Check out Upcoming Shows tab for more dates!

Hey guys and gals! Can you believe this shit? Unfortunately we've had to cancel our upcoming shows and you all know why, We will keep you updated as to when we will be back on stage.

We had the bright idea of broadcasting a live feed from Pinball Studio, but the shelter in place order is keeping us from getting together. We have some great new video equipment and as soon as it's a little safer we will be streaming some live music and tomfoolery!

On a more personal and serious note; Our hearts go out to everyone, we know this is an extremely difficult time for you and your families, we understand how hard this is on us all, no one is going untouched by this and we just want all of you to know we are sending the best vibes we can muster for everyones safety and well being.

Keep your distance, scrub up, and try and be patient with people because everyone is dealing with this their own way, and we can try to make patience, kindness, and love as contagious as this damn virus.

Peace and Love 

Randy, Ken, and Darren

The Coach House was on our immediate bucket list when we started this adventure a couple years ago! we had a blast and can't wait to get back on that stage. The sound was great! Our support was great! (Thanks to everyone who showed up) We got to introduce our new Fiddling little sister Shelah Spiegel, Shelah is an amazing talent and will be featured on our upcoming EP release.

Look for us on the calendar!

lousy little gods are gaining momentum as we blast into the roaring twenties! Look for us on PBS television series "Musicology" in the Spring! Plus we are playing some great venues like the Boathouse Collective in Costa Mesa, The House of Blues Anaheim, The Coach House in SJC, and more!! Although we are still a 3 piece band we have added some spice to the lineup with some guest musicians to add to the stage show as well as our upcoming EP!

Stay tuned for some fun stuff!!

Singer/Songwriter Randy Davis' band lousy little gods were a fixture in the Southern California music scene and opened for the Doobie Brothers, 38 Special and playing just about every venue in the region, but In the late 90's the band scattered across the country with bassist Greg Boyer heading back to Kansas, guitarist Rick Weller moving on to Utah, and drummer Jon Schwartz (on loan from Al Yankovic) returned to his duties with Weird Al and is still rocking with him today. About 3 years ago Randy, Greg and Rick reunited to do some long distance collaboration and after just a few months back at it, Rick tragically passed away. Rick was an amazing human being and complete guitar god, and the loss was devastating. Greg and Randy forged on with Randy writing and recording tracks and Greg adding additional performance tracks as well as producing. As things progressed, Randy decided it was time to put together a live act again, and as fate would have it he met former hard rock drummer Ken Kowalski, and the two put a slightly different twist on Randy's compositions, with Greg settled in Kansas, Randy and Ken began the search for a local bassist and auditioned Alt/Punk Bassist Darren Smith. The three formed the ingredients for an interesting recipe resulting in a new twist on the Americana genre and are playing a hybrid influence of rock, country, bluegrass, and blues that reaches all age groups and tastes. Randy’s lyrics are cathartic and relatable and coupled with his vocal delivery leaves the audience buzzing with a sense of both originality and familiarity. 

Ken doesn’t just keep time, he sets and drives the mood and adds a real spark to the music by adding both classical country precision with power rock aggression and his dynamics are top notch. 

Darren Smith keeps the low end interesting with influences ranging from James Jamerson and Carol Kaye to Paul Simonon and Mike Watt.  

The band believes in the live groove and when you hear them on record it’s what you will hear when you see them play live, studio tricks, excessive overdubs, effects and multiple layers are not in their vocabulary.  The groove is tight, and for a 3 piece outfit the sound is big. The band has been hard at work crafting their sound for live shows that are the true nature of their essence. The boys are currently playing shows in the SoCal area, so become a follower of the lousy little gods, whose message is simple: “Music is Essential to Humanity”.
