Rand was a legend, knew him since 2009 when he was promoting shows in BR with his company Idea Stream. Him and his best friend bought and operated the old Tiger Bar for a short time around 2010-2011ish, and actually brought a bunch of pretty good talent in for a little while, when there was currently nothing going on in BR in regards to live music. Everyone was his best friend and he was never in a bad mood. RIP, NOLA lost a GOAT

There are a lot of ugly rumors floating around Facebook which I will not post here. They are waiting on an autopsy to confirm cause of death though.

We met in Austin in the mid 2000’s. The lifestyle got to him I have to think

Well, it's one of two things. Sad either way.

We were never close, and I haven’t seen him in years, but the news hit me pretty hard, regardless. He was a good guy.

I have some friends who were really close to him. He was a great guy by all accounts.

What was he doing in Austin?

Lasers and bass

Were you in Austin too?

The Big G show he was able to get at the Box was huge at that time. It was before they were big names in music festivals.
Rand lived larger than life. He will be missed by many, many people.

Frequently. But not living there at the time.
