San Francisco, California, USA (1995 – present)
Tarentel is a band based in San Francisco, California, USA which formed in 1995. Initially, the band consisted of Danny Paul Grody and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. The line-up shifted over the years and has included John Hughes, Trevor Montgomery, Patricia Kavanaugh, Kenseth Thibideau, Jeffrey Rosenberg, Jim Redd, Tony Cross, Steve Dye and others.
The band’s current lineup is Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Danny Grody, Jim Redd, Tony Cross and Paul Clipson.
Tarentel began as a post-rock band, making extended, LP-side length instrumental pieces similar to those of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Mogwai. Over the course three full-length albums and a number of singles and EPs, Tarentel has gradually shifted their style to a looser, more improvisational form that incorporates genres such as noise and drone as well as having a strong psychedelic element.
Tarentel’s fifth member, Paul Clipson, projects original Super-8 film compositions that accompany each live performance by the band.

Last thing I heard Jefre Cantu-Ledesma moved to Germany this year. I doubt they'll break up though, they'll probably just be one more band on an eternal hiatus.

Lately I'd consider Tarentel more of a noise band than a post-rock one. Although if we disregard what the term "post-rock" has generally referred to in the last few years, then they definitely seem like not-rock music in a rock ensemble, so I guess? I call it music to do drugs on Amtrak to.
