Hi Everyone. Welcome to our page. Here is a little information about the band.

 

Randy Larocque, founder of Heathanz Sinz, played in bands back in the 80's and early 90's, a couple cover bands, but mostly original music bands. Playing small venues locally in Vancouver BC, the lifestyle got to him, and he decided he need to make some changes in his life. So, he left the music scene behind.

In the spring of 2019, Randy Larocque saw a great music interest in his daughter and that sparked the passion to get back into music.

 

As a child of the 80's, his influences were Motorhead, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest and Dio. So, he set out to write that style of music, combined with his taste for blues and classic rock.

​

So Randy started writing songs in his living room. He started watching YouTube videos and taught himself how to do recording from his living room. As he's not a lead guitar player, he found a guy from YouTube by the name Russell Rayborn. The 2 of them became good friends and Russell wrote some awesome leads for his songs. The only challenge is, Randy lives in Surrey BC Canada, Russell in St. Louis. Hard to have band rehearsals when they lived 5000 miles away.

​

In the spring of 2020, he met up with his friend Justin Lake and said he wanted to form a band, something Randy had not done since the mid 90's. Justin was a guitar player as well, but what really caught Randy's attention, was his singing. They went through a couple of drummers, but just could not find the right fit.

​

The search for a drummer continued. Until one day, while Randy was at soccer practice (he coached his daughter's team), he was talking to one of the parents of a girl on the team, and Randy told him he would not be returning to coach the next year, as he wanted to make more time for his music. The dad said he played drums. So, Randy asked him to come out to a rehearsal. Boom! There is was the missing drummer! Mike Cranford become part of the team.

 

Shorty after, Mike was injured and was unable to perform.

 

I met Jason Overy through a mutual friend and he came and tried out. It was a great fit and we welcomed Jason to the project.

As Randy and Justin continued recording for an upcoming full length album, Randy realized, he needed a lead guitarist, as Randy openly admits, he's not a great guitar player, let alone a lead player.

​

Randy asked a few local Vancouver guitarists to try out some leads for their songs. A lot of amazing talent, but the sound...the style they were looking for evaded them. Until one day, Randy was on Facebook and YouTube and discovered a local guitarist named Steve Ricardo. Randy reached out to him to see if he was interested in recording some leads for his songs. Steve was eager to do so, as COVID was kicking the shit out of the entertainment industry and musicians were bored and wanted to play.

​

As Steve was busy with all of his own projects, I found Jeff Kinsley on Craigslist. He came and tried out and we had a blast. We welcomed Jeff to the project.

​

After trying out a a bass player, we thought we had the right fit but it just didn't fit right until Tony came out. Now we were complete.

​

After a few months, Tony had some health issues and was unable to continue. Jeff didn't have time to commit so Julian Romero stepped in and crushed the leads. We brought in Dustin Ridgen for bass

​

After a few rehearsals, the group was ready. 

​

​

We have no released our full length album and made a few roster changes. We needed some serious thump on bass guitar so we brought in Dustid Ridgen on bass. As Jason went back to his roots, we brought Steve Ricardo in on drums to complete our sound for 2022.

​

Late May 2022, after a terrible gig, Steve decided to go off and do his own thing. Justin and Dustin went with him leaving us in a state of collapse. Steve, Justin and Dustin had a bad "gig" and decided this wasn't for them. So off they went with Steve. Julian stuck with me and we continued to write. We added Keith Soltess at bass and found Gustavo  through Craigslist. After an extensive search for a drummer, we found Tyler Dennis to finish the roster. We are now plowing through our songs trying to get ready for a gig Sept 24, 2022. Nothing will stop me from doing what I love...Performing live!

As we move into 2024, the year of 2023 was filled with some incredible shows! Thank you all to who came out to support us!
