Renfield is an alliance of musical daredevils who have dedicated their art to your eventual entertainment. Operating in and around Los Angeles since 1995, Renfield has watched culture ossify as the stars go out one by one and only the jazzcore remain. A calcified underbelly has been cultured by one too many squirms through the dirt and now these fatal fantasists bear no weaknesses. Born of and for the stage, Renfield exhorts you to join us at a live performance as the digital medium can only carry a fraction of the frenzy that is manufactured to manipulate your soul.
While living and working in Los Angeles, we have found brothers in arms in the swill pits and sweat scrums about town. Some of these bands we like include Uberband, The Voodoo Organist, The Fuxedos, Stolen Babies, and Fish Circus.
We love Bedrock Studios.
We count among our greatest influences the following artists in no particular order: Frank Zappa, Fishbone, Mr. Bungle, Rush, Primus, Cab Calloway, Tom Waits, (Mystic Knights of the) Oingo Boingo, Cramps, Gogol Bordello, System of a Down, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Dead Kennedys, John Zorn, Leigh Bowery, Bjork, The Police, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Fela Kuti, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Matt Fraction, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Double D Nose, David Bowie, Gene Rayburn, Guy Smiley, Steranko, Tool, Thomas Dolby, A Perfect Circle, Blue Meanies, Prince, Ted Knight, Harry Houdini, Mike Caro, PT Barnum, Geoff Edwards, ancient Persian mathematicians, Lloyd Kaufman, Andy Kaufman, and Batman (because he always wins.)
