Renaldo & The Loaf

Real Name:
Brian Poole, David Janssen
Profile:
Renaldo Malpractice (Brian Poole) and Ted the Loaf (David Janssen) are a bizarre, insanely creative duo of Brits hailing from Portsmouth. Their music is wacky and fun, schizophrenic and unexpected. "Discovered" by the Residents after they released a cassette version of their first recording, they were signed to Ralph Records and produced 3 albums between 1981 and 1987.

Review by Crijevo Mar 15, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Without doubt the weirdest bunch to come across this planet. Although many will pin them a 'Residents' tag across their foreheads, Renaldo & the Loaf albeit confusingly parodic to music, seem far more sophisticated than their US obscure twin brothers - and that can be heard in a whole list of impressive records, from 'Songs For Swinging Larvae' through to 'The Elbow Is Taboo'... Electronics that seem to go on cocaine all by themselves in an array of abstract funny noise. Renaldo & the Loaf, where are you these days?
