We are pleased to welcome new guitarist Jim Dicus and new drummer Joshua Ford. We are currently working on our first EP, titled Crook. It will be released at the end of this year. Please stay tuned.

Seeking a second guitarist for experimental rock band.
We have twelve completed songs, and are writing additional material as well. Shows are being planned for early this year, and later recording of an LP.

Influences: Swans, Damaged/My War/Slip It In-era Black Flag, Neurosis, Tad, Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, Tchkung!, Big Black, Arsenal, Einsturzende Neubauten, Pigface, Laibach, Savage Republic, F-Space, Killing Joke, Saint Vitus, SPK, Cop Shoot Cop, Leadbelly, Prong, Godflesh, Jesu, Jarboe, Head of David and many others. I expect to build upon a naturally evolving sound.

We rehearse on Fridays and Sundays, and have upcoming shows.

No drugs.

We consist of a drummer, a bassist, a keyboardist/soundscape artist and a vocalist/guitarist. We are seeking an auxiliary percussionist to help bolster our sound.

We have twelve completed songs, and additional material as well. Shows are being planned for this summer and fall, and later recording of an album.

You will be using congas, timbales, resonant oil drums, saw blades, wrought-iron scrap metal and assorted items such as bottles, goat hooves, metal drumsticks and knives. I’m looking to incorporate Haitian and Cuban polyrhythms into the music to emphasize and augment the beats with the drummer as needed for each song, helping to forge a unique, creative sound. I can teach you these rhythms.

The percussive element of the band is a strong component, and we are looking for someone who will not just accompany the drummer, but build up a sense of dynamic and aggression.

Influences: Swans, Damaged/My War/Slip It In-era Black Flag, Neurosis, Tchkung!, Tad, Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, Big Black, Birthday Party, Pigface, Einsturzende Neubauten, early Tool, Laibach, Throbbing Gristle, Savage Republic, Prong, F-Space, Leadbelly, Killing Joke, Saint Vitus, SPK, Godflesh, Jesu, Jarboe, Head of David and many others. I expect to build upon a naturally evolving sound.

 See you all there!

Rending Sinew is playing tonight at the High Dive. Poltersleep is already on deck. Get down here, and come rock out!

The show at the Substation was brilliant. All the bands played excellent sets. Thanks to Paranoiseum, Rek Lektroid and the always-excellent Power Skeleton. Our new keyboardist Tiffany is brilliant and Ray Bollen is a beast on the drums.
Our next show will be at the High Dive in Fremont. We will be playing with 2 Libras, Poltersleep and The Cool Moonmist Mountain Band. Cost is $6 in advance, and $8 the night of the show. More to come, see you out there!

Tonight!
Rending Sinew plays at the Substation in Ballard with Power Skeleton, Paranoiseum and Red Lektroid. We go on second.
To celebrate our drummer Raymond Bollen’s sixtieth birthday, he is playing with all four bands on the bill. Happy birthday, Ray!
This also marks the debut of new keyboardist Tiffany Dearborn. It’s also Tiffany’s birthday.
We’re looking forward to the show. This has been a long time coming.

Rending Sinew plays Everett’s Obscurus this Friday with our new drummer Raymond Bollen! We’ll have a guest percussionist as well. Other bands are the North Star Project, Forrest Friends, Black.Sun.Moon, and No Such Season Show starts at 6! See you there!

Rending Sinew will be playing a show at Mosh Eisely in Bellingham on Friday, June 16 with Wrtch, Black Shroud and the North Star Project.
We are looking forward to this show. It has been a year since we played, and this will be our first one in Bellingham. We look forward to seeing you all!

New players! Rehearsing with new members Karl and Brian Snyder. They are not related, which makes it even cooler. Previous material will soon work its way in. I am looking forward to further collaborating and composing with them, and expanding the lineup. Very soon now, you’ll be able to find photos and footage in the Skin section.
