Whether it's band interviews, sports, humor, news or a combination of all those, I, Randy J. Klodz try to cover it all.

My weekly NiteLife column for Lawndale News, a Spanish-English weekly newspaper based in the Chicago area, covers bands of all genres with interviews, live concert reviews and live concert photography.

I also write band interview pieces for SOAK Magazine, a popular bi-montly Chicago-based men's magazine. For SOAK I have interviewed the Chicago-based bands Chevelle, Kill Hannah, Local H, Lucky Boys Confusion, Mest, Triptych and SOiL, with more to follow.

Along with a knack for music related pieces, I have also dabbled with humor-based pieces while working with ECHO Magazine, the official magazine for Columbia College Chicago journalism students. For ECHO, I investigated the phenomenon of Axe body spray and experimented with online dating.

As a sports enthusiast, I also write sports-related pieces for The Chicago Sports Review, a monthly Chicago-based sports publication that covers local teams as well as national topics.

Within this site, all of my published aritcles are archived over a span of several years, and several publications, former and current.

As I usually have a weekly deadline, this site will be updated accordingly to reflect the bustling pace of my work. Once a story is printed, it will appear online within that given week. Feel free to look around. Also, feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or suggestions at randyjklodz@yahoo.com.
