About Me

Renaldo Malpractice aka Brian Poole was one half of Renaldo and the Loaf who were signed to Ralph Records (USA) and Some Bizarre (UK) in the 80s - RATL released 4 albums until calling it a day in 1988. Since then Renaldo has continued, albeit VERY slowly, to produce music at his computer based home studio gathering a catalogue of unfinished/nascent songs. However spurred on by various friends and requests to collaborate on specific projects some songs have been finished. Over the past couple of years Renaldo has been working with the Portsmouth band, Autons, to realise his cover version of the Kink's See My Friends has been encouraged to perform live for the first time in over 25 years.... more recently still indulging in 'laptronica', dipping his toe into the world of live sample mixing. Most notably however is that 2006 saw the reunion of Renaldo and Ted the Loaf leading to a collaboration on a retrospective Renaldo and the Loaf project and, tantilisingly, new material.
