140-487: A record label focusing on avant-garde music, in 1972. Throughout the group's existence, the individual members have ostensibly attempted to work anonymously, preferring to have attention focused on their art. Much speculation and rumor has focused on this aspect of the group. In public, they appear silent and costumed, often wearing eyeball helmets, top hats and tails—a costume now recognized as their signature iconography. In 2017, Hardy Fox , long known to be associated with

210-874: A Residents project was the Gingerbread Man album, she officially became a member of the group in 1997, with a one-off performance at the Popkomm festival in Germany titled Disfigured Night . This performance later became the second act of a special 25th anniversary show at the Fillmore in San Francisco, in October 1997. Due to the collapse of the CD-ROM market, a collective decision was made to tour again. While keeping up with their theatrical tendencies by regular use of costumes and stage props,

280-638: A break from part three of the Mole Trilogy, the Residents began a new project entitled the American Composers Series , a planned series of 10 albums which would pay tribute to pop artists and instrumental composers from the United States. The first result of this pairing was George & James , featuring the music of George Gershwin and James Brown . Following the release of George & James ,

In 2011, GSJ and I Made Moja collaborated on a multimedia performance piece that fused music, dance, and other traditional art-forms of Bali, notably wayang kulit , Balinese shadow-puppetry . The Residents The Residents are an American art collective and art rock band best known for their avant-garde music and multimedia works. Since their first official release, Meet

420-668: A full-time band member. Fabrizio's connections with the Balinese gamelan ensemble Gamelan Sekar Jaya allowed for occasional collaborations between the two groups during this period. The first tour with this new band formation was for the 1998 album Wormwood , a collection of songs depicting typically gruesome stories from the Holy Bible , mostly from the Old Testament . While the studio album only featured Harvey, Fabrizio and Dammit as guests (with Dammit only taking occasional vocal duties),

490-578: A living, the group purchased crude recording equipment and began to refine their recording and editing skills, as well as photography, painting, and anything remotely to do with art that they could afford. The Residents have acknowledged the existence of at least two unreleased reel-to-reel items from this era, titled The Ballad of Stuffed Trigger and Rusty Coathangers for the Doctor . The Cryptic Corporation has confirmed that their archives contain many tapes dating back decades, but because they were recorded before

560-410: A minor element integrated into the stories, not unlike product placement . In between certain songs, "Randy" also spoke to the audience, introducing the band and later describing his own history with supernatural appearances, and his subsequent fear of mirrors. The tour was financially successful, and the band continued to perform in this formation with only minor changes in stage and costume design. In

630-491: A number of delays in the release date. The sudden attention afforded to them by the success of the Duck Stab! EP and "Satisfaction" single required an album release as soon as possible to help fund the band's spiraling recording costs, and to meet the demand for new Residents material. This forced the release of the band's long-shelved "second album" Not Available in 1978. The Residents were not bothered by this deviation from

700-492: A promotional video created with the help of New York artist John Sanborn , which also presented a music video for "Harry the Head", animated by computer artist Jim Ludtke; both artists went on to collaborate with the Residents on many further projects. A partnership with Voyager in 1992 allowed the Residents to develop a laserdisc titled Twenty Twisted Questions to celebrate their twentieth anniversary. Along with this laserdisc,

770-592: A screen. On the event of the September 11 attacks , the Residents were still touring Icky Flix in Europe. The resulting fear and anxiety caused by the attacks resulted in the recording of Demons Dance Alone in 2002. While not a direct response to the events, the songs on the album portrayed the negative emotions felt by the group and its individual members, and this was reflected in the album's subsequent tour, from October 2002 to September 2003. The group's next major album,

840-514: A small, independent label to release and promote their own work. In 1972, to inaugurate the new business, the group recorded and pressed the Santa Dog EP, their first recorded output to be released to the public. Designed to resemble a Christmas card from an insurance company, the EP consisted of two 7" singles, one song on each side. The four songs were presented as being by four different bands (Ivory &

910-548: A studio album was recorded, titled Our Finest Flowers . Not quite a "greatest hits" compilation, many tracks on the album borrow elements from previous songs in the Residents' catalog. The Residents' collaboration with Jim Ludtke resulted in the creation of the Freak Show and Bad Day on the Midway CD-ROMs . Both of these projects featured many other collaborations with visual artists, including returning collaborators from

980-406: A studio they named "El Ralpho", which boasted a completely open ground floor (seemingly ideal for a sound stage), allowing the group to expand their operations and also begin preliminary work on their most ambitious project up to that point, a full-length film entitled Vileness Fats , which consumed most of their attention for the next four years. Intended to be the first-ever long form music video,

1050-497: A two-week tour of Japan for the group in October 1985. The tour was successful, and re-ignited the group's interest in creating live performances. As a result, they eventually embarked on their 13th Anniversary world tour, ranging from 1985 to 1987, with Snakefinger playing electric guitar. As for studio work, the group eventually released their second entry in the American Composers series, Stars & Hank Forever , featuring

Past performances have also featured ensembles playing in other styles as well, including gamelan joged bumbung , gamelan semar pegulingan , kecak , gender batel, gamelan gambuh , genggong , and beleganjur . GSJ has also performed contemporary pieces featuring instruments from

1190-507: Is considered one of the group's masterworks. On November 18, 1987, at a party in Amsterdam for Boudisque Records, the Residents' European label, they premiered a new work titled Buckaroo Blues , a suite of cowboy songs. After a choreographed TELE5 appearance in April 1988, this suite was coupled with a second one titled Black Barry , a suite of "black music" (that is, blues and gospel), and formed

1260-563: The 13th Anniversary Show LP in 1986 and a cover of " Hit the Road Jack " in 1987, the Cryptic Corporation resigned control of Ralph Records over to Tom & Sheenah Timony, and the Residents signed to Rykodisc .

After two compilation CDs titled Heaven? and Hell! ,

1330-558: The Commercial Album ; and a video for "Hello Skinny" from the Duck Stab LP. Created at a time when MTV (and what later became known as "music video" in general) was in its infancy, the group's videos were in heavy rotation since they were among the few music videos available to broadcasters. The Residents' follow up to Commercial Album was Mark of the Mole , released in 1981. The album

1400-456: The Freak Show graphic novel, such as Richard Sala and Dave McKean . The Residents enjoyed quite a bit of critical and financial success with these CD-ROMs, winning several industry awards. However, during early development stages for a third CD-ROM, titled I Murdered Mommy , their distributor Inscape was forced to dissolve due to oversaturation and obsoletion of the CD-ROM market. Despite majorly occupying themselves with CD-ROM development,

1470-634: The Henry Selick -directed pilot "Slow Bob in the Lower Dimensions." Recordings for a new studio album were worked on during breaks in the Cube-E tour, and shortly after the tour, Freak Show was released. An album detailing the lives and personalities of fictional carnival freaks, the Freak Show project spawned many other iterations, such as a graphic novel in collaboration with comic artists from Dark Horse , such as Brian Bolland and Matt Howarth , and

1540-528: The 1930s. The resulting LP was released in 1976, and was the group's first project to feature a music video , created by syncing an old video of the group performing with an edited version of "Swastikas on Parade". After the Third Reich 'n Roll ' s release, a group of enterprising friends and collaborators from their early days in San Mateo — Homer Flynn, Hardy Fox , Jay Clem and John Kennedy — also joined

1610-455: The 2005 Animal Lover , contained lyrics of a similarly tragic nature, although in a more abstract manner. The album also contained a booklet with stories which presented the songs from the point of view of animals. Animal Lover was also the first Residents album to be released on the Mute label, which was solely responsible for the Residents' major releases until 2008. Animal Lover is currently

They sent copies of Santa Dog to west coast radio stations with no response until Bill Reinhardt, program director of KBOO -FM in Portland, Oregon , received a copy and played it heavily on his show. Reinhardt met

1750-591: The Cryptics. Following "Satisfaction", the group began recording Eskimo in April 1976; a concept album based upon the Theory of Phonetic Organisation that suggests that music should not be confined to chords and structures, but instead should simply be a collection of fascinating noises. The album featured acoustic soundscapes inspired by Inuit culture, whilst parodying American ignorance of other cultures. The Eskimo sessions lasted many years, and featured many divergences,

1820-582: The Mole Show, a theatrical retelling of their Mark of the Mole album. The band debuted the show with a test performance, on April 10, 1982, before a tour of California in October, and a European tour throughout mid 1983. The show featured Penn Jillette as the narrator, playing a similar role as he had previously done with the Ralph Records 10th Anniversary radio special. A third leg, featuring dates in New York,

1890-422: The Residents (1974), they have released over 60 albums, numerous music videos and short films, three CD-ROM projects, and ten DVDs over the course of over half a century. They have undertaken seven major world tours and scored multiple films. Pioneers in exploring the potential of CD-ROM and similar technologies, the Residents have won several awards for their multimedia projects. They founded Ralph Records ,

1960-433: The Residents also performed and recorded with a team of guest musicians: the aforementioned Molly Harvey (vocals), Nolan Cook (guitar), Carla Fabrizio (arrangements and vocals), Toby Dammit (drums), and later on in 2002, Eric Drew Feldman (keyboards). Some of the band members, notably Feldman and Fabrizio, went on to collaborate with the group on numerous other projects up until the present time, while Cook eventually became

2030-447: The Residents at their studio at 20 Sycamore St. in the summer of 1973 with the news of his broadcasts. The Residents gave Reinhardt exclusive access to all their recordings, including copies of the original masters of Stuffed Trigger , Baby Sex , and The Warner Bros. Album . Throughout this point, the group had been manipulating old tapes they had collected and regularly recording jam sessions, and these recordings eventually became

2100-463: The Residents changed their live band to a "power trio" formation, and in a sort of meta stunt, appear to "unmask" themselves as lead singer / frontman "Randy," composer / keyboardist "Charles 'Chuck' Bobuck," and guitarist Nolan Cook as "Bob" – although all three band members were still costumed: "Randy" donned an old man mask and wore an overcoat with oversized red tie and shoes; "Chuck" and "Bob" wore red jackets, special goggles and fake dreadlocks. There

2170-562: The Residents finally abandoned part three of the Mole Trilogy, choosing instead to record a fourth entry entitled The Big Bubble , featuring very stripped-down instrumentation in order to portray a fictional garage rock band. No further entries into the Mole Trilogy have been recorded, and the project is considered abandoned. When The Big Bubble was released in Japan by Wave Records, it was an unquestioned success, its popularity resulting in Wave funding

2240-402: The Residents saw this project as an opportunity to create the ultimate cult film . After four years of filming (from 1972 to 1976) the project was reluctantly cancelled because of time, space, and monetary constraints. Fifteen hours of footage was shot for the project, yet only approximately 35 minutes of that footage has ever been released. The group also formed Ralph Records at this time, as

2310-652: The Residents still remained musically active, releasing an enhanced CD album titled Gingerbread Man (an observation and study of nine fictional characters) in 1994, and scoring the Discovery Channel documentary series Hunters in 1995. Freak Show also got a live adaptation in November 1995, at the Archa Theater in Prague. While the Residents did act as music and stage directors for the show, they did not actually perform;

2380-548: The Residents' first new project for Ryko was titled God in Three Persons , an hour-long poem in the form of a spoken-word rock opera . This was the first new Residents album to be released on CD , and the last Residents project to be entirely recorded on analog tape, as the group moved on to MIDI technology; their first venture into MIDI was scoring episodes for Pee-wee's Playhouse in 1987. Despite initially mixed critical and commercial reaction, God in Three Persons today

2450-524: The Residents) promoted them on his program as well. Eventually, KBOO airplay attracted a cult following. Following the release of Meet the Residents , the group began working on a follow-up entitled Not Available . Following N. Senada's theory of obscurity, the LP was recorded and compiled completely in private, and would not be released until the group had completely forgotten about its existence. During breaks in

2520-597: The Residents, identified himself as the band's co-founder and primary composer; he died in 2018. The artists who became the Residents met in high school in Shreveport , Louisiana , in the early 1960s. Around 1965, they began making their first amateur home tape recordings and making art together with a number of friends. In 1966, intending to join the flourishing hippie movement, they headed west for San Francisco, but when their truck broke down in San Mateo , California , they decided to remain there. While attempting to make

2590-612: The Western tradition. Founded in 1979 by I Wayan Suweca , Rachel Ann Cooper and Michael Tenzer , Gamelan Sekar Jaya (GSJ) was the first community-based Balinese gamelan in the United States. Most of its performers are American volunteers, taught and led in performance by visiting Balinese master artists. Popular both in the States and abroad, the group has performed all over North America and has toured Bali seven times (1985, 1992, 1995, 2000, 2003, 2010, and 2014). In 2000, Gamelan Sekar Jaya

2660-478: The band some attention from the press (namely NME , Sounds and Melody Maker ), and was followed in 1978 by the Duck Stab/Buster & Glen album, which paired the EP with a similar, concurrently recorded EP which had not been released separately. The group then continued work on Eskimo , which proved a very difficult project, marked by many conflicts between the band and their management which led to

2730-451: The band was mostly fully formed by the time of the show's live debut at the Fillmore in October 1998. The Wormwood show toured up to July 1999, and featured drastically different arrangements of songs from the album, mostly darker and heavier, as well as new or unused material related to the concept. Some of these arrangements were recorded for a studio album titled Roadworms , and a DVD of

2800-534: The creation of a new score to the 1935 silent film, Legong: Dance of the Virgins , performing with the Club Foot Orchestra . A DVD of the film with this new score was released in 2004. Major GSJ collaborations include projects with Abhinaya , Crosspulse , Shadowlight , Destiny Arts , Chitresh Das . Sekar Jaya and some of its members have collaborated with the artist and musician collective The Residents at

2870-469: The current name. The first known public performance of the Residents, Uninc. was at the Boarding House in San Francisco in 1971. The brief, guerrilla-style performance took the audience by surprise. A photo from it, showing Lithman playing violin with his pinky "about to strike the violin like a snake", originated the stage name he used for the rest of his life, Snakefinger . Later in 1971, a second tape

2940-518: The first act of the Residents' next touring project, Cube-E: The History of American Music in 3EZ Pieces . After the show's debut in New York, on July 21, 1989, it was decided to add a third act consisting of covers of Elvis Presley songs, completing the equation "Cowboy music + Black music = Rock and roll." The show took on a much more theatrical approach than the 13th Anniversary tour, with elaborate set designs, costumes, lighting and choreography. Cube-E toured from September 1989 to November 1990, and

3010-602: The first instance of the group wearing eyeball masks and tuxedos, which was later considered by many to be the group's signature costume. The Residents had only intended to wear these costumes for the cover of Eskimo , but adopted the costumes in the longer term as it provided them with a unique and recognisable image. The group followed Eskimo with Commercial Album in 1980. The LP featured 40 songs, each exactly one minute in length. Around this time, two short films were made in collaboration with Graeme Whifler : One Minute Movies , consisting of four music videos for tracks from

3080-608: The first of which, in November 1976, resulted in Fingerprince , a collection of unused recordings from the Third Reich 'n Roll , Not Available , and Eskimo sessions. Fingerprince received considerable coverage in the British press, and was the first LP by the group to receive any critical attention when Jon Savage reviewed the album and its two predecessors favorably for the December 31st issue of Sounds magazine. This review gained

Shortly after the introduction of the Cryptic Corporation, the Residents recorded their " Satisfaction " single, the B-side of which featured the Residents' first work with the ARP Odyssey , the first synthesizer owned by the group, purchased by

3220-431: The group considerable attention, with many of their previously unsold mail-order items being sold seemingly overnight. The sudden success of Fingerprince and its predecessors caused the group to briefly halt production on Eskimo to create something more appealing to their newfound audience. The Residents followed up Fingerprince with their Duck Stab! EP – their most accessible release up to that point. This EP got

Clem became the band's spokesman; Fox edited, produced and compiled the band's increasingly prolific output; Flynn was already handling the group's cover design and promotional art under the banner of Pore Know Graphics; and Kennedy took the role of "President" (admittedly a fairly empty title, as overall responsibilities were handled more or less equally by

3360-558: The group officially became the Residents, the band does not consider them part of its discography. Word of the unnamed group's experimentation spread, and in 1969 British guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Philip Lithman, later known as Snakefinger , began to participate with them. Around this time they also met the mysterious (and perhaps apocryphal) N. Senada , whom Lithman had picked up during an expedition in Bavaria . The two Europeans became great influences and life-long collaborators with

3430-493: The group's debut full-length album, Meet the Residents , which was released in 1974 on Ralph. To aid in promoting the group, Reinhardt was given 50 of the first 1,000 copies of Meet the Residents . Some were sent to friends, listeners and critics, and two dozen were left for sale on consignment at the Music Millennium record store, where they sat unsold for months. KBOO DJ Barry Schwam (a.k.a. Schwump, who also recorded with

3500-533: The group. In 1971, the group sent a reel-to-reel demo tape to Hal Halverstadt at Warner Bros. , as he had signed Captain Beefheart , one of the group's heroes, to the label. Halverstadt was not impressed with The Warner Bros. Album , but gave it an "A for Ariginality". Because the band had not included a name in the return address, the rejection slip was addressed to "Residents". The group decided to use this name, first becoming Residents Uninc., then shortening it to

3570-524: The increasing numbers of illegal downloads of music on the Internet, which considerably decreased product sales, the Residents attempted a new artistic medium: the radio drama , in the form of a paid podcast distributed through Apple's iTunes service. This podcast, titled The River of Crime (a first-person tale of an individual's obsession with crime and criminals), ran for five weekly episodes in 2006 before its cancellation due to inconveniences surrounding

3640-435: The interactions may or may not have altered the course of the series' plot (a book containing some of Bunny's correspondence was published by Bandits Mages in 2019). Soon afterwards the album was toured from October to December 2008. A second season of the video series was shown in 2009, somewhat officially ending the project. Making a decision to shift focus from studio work to touring, and to enhance their show's portability,

3710-466: The last Residents album to feature Molly Harvey, who moved to Atlanta to live with her husband at the time. Her last appearance as a member of the Residents was at a small series of shows titled The Way We Were at the "What is Music?" festival in Australia. The show's setlist was a career retrospective much in the style of the 13th Anniversary tour, the last time the Residents had toured Australia. Due to

3780-449: The live show was released in 2005. The same band formation later toured to promote the Residents' first DVD, Icky Flix , a compilation of most of the group's music videos, as well as new animated videos and a re-recorded soundtrack, to celebrate the group's upcoming 30th anniversary. These re-recorded arrangements were performed on the show as their corresponding videos played from the DVD onto

3850-508: The music of Hank Williams and John Philip Sousa . Their version of the Williams song "Kaw-liga" was particularly successful in the emerging club scene. Due to licensing costs and the emerging CD format, the American Composers series was later abandoned. Stars & Hank Forever was the last Residents project Snakefinger played on, as he died of a heart attack in July 1987. Following the release of

3920-422: The music was conducted and performed by Czech band Už Jsme Doma , while actors and dancers played their roles on stage. Freak Show Live was the last iteration of the Freak Show brand; while a DVD was being developed in 2003, the early death of animator Jim Ludtke immediately halted the project. Around this time, singer/performer Molly Harvey was recruited to work with the group. While her first appearance in

3990-445: The next couple of years, "Randy" took on an increased role as frontman of the band, starting a "personal" Tumblr blog where he wrote mostly about life experiences and trivia regarding the Residents' history, as well as promoting his "solo" show, Sam's Enchanted Evening , which was presented in various incarnations between June 2010 and March 2012 with collaborators Joshua Raoul Brody and Carla Fabrizio. More akin to musical theater than

The first album the band recorded using the emulator was The Tunes of Two Cities , the second part of the Mole Trilogy, which was nearly entirely recorded using the Emulator. Following the release of Cities The Residents also released the EP Intermission . Then they started rehearsing for a possible live show, eventually developing their first touring project,

4130-500: The original plan not to release the album, as the 1978 release ultimately did not affect the philosophical conditions under which it was originally recorded. Eskimo was finally released in 1979 to much acclaim, even making it to the final list for nominations for a Grammy award in 1980, although the album wasn't nominated. Rather than being songs in the orthodox sense, the compositions on Eskimo sounded like "live-action stories" without dialogue. The cover art of Eskimo also presents

4200-467: The podcast's promotion on iTunes, thereby discouraging further production. Aside from Animal Lover , the group's partnership with Mute produced three more albums: Tweedles in 2006 (a first-person character study of a sexually successful yet emotionally unavailable vampiric figure), The Voice of Midnight in 2007 (a retelling of the E.T.A. Hoffmann story Der Sandmann ), and The Bunny Boy in 2008 (a first-person narrative and character study of

The album consisted of two side-long medleys of the band covering popular songs from 1950s and 1960s, whilst toying with the concept of the popularity of rock 'n' roll being comparable to that of the rise of Nazism in

These "ghost stories" were loosely threaded by the presence of television, TV commercials, and industrialized products such as Oscar Mayer hot dogs or Betty Crocker Pudding Roll-ups – although these weren't endorsements; these products were simply

While Tweedles and The Voice of Midnight have not yet been developed further (aside from instrumental releases such as The UGHS! in 2009), The Bunny Boy proved a very accessible concept. A YouTube video series of the same name was done to promote and further elaborate on the project. The series was partially interactive; fans could communicate with Bunny via e-mail , and some of

Shortly after the release of Mark of the Mole , the Residents purchased one of the first ever E-mu Emulator samplers, number #00005 specifically. The instrument was revolutionary for the band, as the sampling capacities of the keyboard not only allowed them to recreate instruments the members were not able to play, but also gave them

4620-518: Was also mention of a fourth band member, drummer "Carlos," who allegedly had left the music business to take care of his mother in Mexico; however, despite being credited as singer in the group's 2012 album Coochie Brake , there is no further evidence of "Carlos" having ever been a real band member. This new band formation debuted in the Talking Light tour, which ran from January 2010 to April 2011. While

Gamelan is the Indonesian term for orchestra, and the name "Sekar Jaya" translates roughly to "Victorious Flower." Along with performing Balinese music and dance, the group has produced a number of cross-cultural collaborations. For example, GSJ commissioned

Following the Mole Show, the band was broke, and as such attempted to recoup some of their losses with several archival releases, including a collection of outtakes called Residue in 1983, and a VHS containing recordings from the Mole Show as well as a newly scored edit of Vileness Fats footage. Deciding to take

The cover art for the tape box was a silk-screened copy of an old photo depicting a woman fellating a small child, an example of the extremely confrontational and deliberately puerile visual and lyrical style the group adopted during this period. In early 1972, the band left San Mateo and relocated to 20 Sycamore St, San Francisco ;

Further television work was also being done for MTV , with the Residents scoring and doing voice work for Liquid Television and
