'Vanderpump Rules' Star Tom Sandoval on His Band: "People Love These Songs" (EXCLUSIVE)

Longtime Vanderpump Rules viewers have seen Scheana Shay and Lala Kent belt out original tunes in front of the cameras, and they've watched DJ James Kennedy get to work on the turntables at SUR's "See You Next Tuesday" events over the years. Not one to be left out, original cast member Tom Sandoval has had a band for years.

Tom may be best known for "Scandoval" right now, the cheating scandal involving former co-star Raquel Leviss. But he also focuses much of his attention on his band, Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras. After making his performing debut with the group in November 2021, Tom continued to perform and tour with the band.

In 2021, Tom and then-girlfriend Ariana Madix spoke exclusively with Distractify about Tom's cover band, filming the show together, and Ariana's cocktail kits, Drink from Home (DFH).

Though Tom's business partnership with Tom Schwartz and working on Schwartz & Sandy's, their second restaurant together, is a big part of Sandoval's life, he's also the lead singer for the nine-piece cover band, Sandoval & the Most Extras.

The group marks Tom's fourth band, but he noted that it stands apart because they are covering songs that people are already familiar with.

"I've done music since the show first started ... But now, doing a cover band, it's so much easier to get people to come and to enjoy because everybody's been listening to these songs for years. People love these songs," Tom told us at the time, before adding that fans don't have to be introduced to the songs he's playing. "They can come out and have a great time."

In the Feb. 6 episode of Vanderpump Rules, we see Tom have a birthday party at the house he still shares with Ariana. And, since he is on the outs with most of his co-stars and former friends, it's a who's who of guests. But many of them are part of Tom's band. And, it seems, he has grown even closer to his bandmates since Scandoval.

When we last spoke with Tom, he also shared that filming with Ariana while dating her worked because they had "high respect" for each other. Of course now, things have changes immensely. But, curiously, the thing that has remained the same is Tom's band.

Tom has a lot of irons in the fire right now, but with the inability to be front at center at his two restaurants, given the public backlash for his cheating scandal, he'll have to settle for remaining the front man of his band.

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
