About

Tarentel is a post-rock band which formed in San Francisco in 1995. Initially, the band consisted of Danny Grody and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. The line-up altered over the years and has included John Hughes, Trevor Montgomery, Patricia Kavanaugh, Kenseth Thibideau, Jeffrey Rosenberg, Jim Redd, Tony Cross, Steve Dye and others.

Tarentel began as a post-rock band, making extended, LP-side-length instrumental pieces. Over the course of three full-length albums and a number of singles and EPs, they gradually shifted their style to a looser, more improvisational form that incorporated genres such as noise and drone as well as having a strong psychedelic element.
Tarentel member Paul Clipson projected original Super-8 film compositions to accompany each live performance by the band. He died in February 2018. The band has been inactive at least since their most recent release in 2009.
