1.) An American alternative rock band fronted by Matt Sharp, former bass player for Weezer. The Rentals have released two LPs, Return Of The Rentals (1995) and Seven More Minutes (1999), and four EPs, The Last Little Life EP (2007), The Story of a Thousand Seasons Past (2009), It’s Time to Come Home (2009), and The Future (2009). The 2009 EPs make up the musical end of the Songs About Time project, which also includes daily photos and weekly short films.
Band members on Return Of included Patrick Wilson (also of Weezer) on drums, Rod Cervera (guitar), Tom Grimley (moog), Petra Haden (violin, vocals), and Cherielynn Westrich (vocals, moog). Petra’s triplet sister, Rachel Haden, appears as an additional vocalist. After Sharp left Weezer, Wilson’s studio replacement on the drums was Kevin March and Mike Fletcher was the band’s most frequent touring drummer. Maya Rudolph, of Saturday Night Live fame, also briefly toured with the band as a keyboardist. They are known for their quirky Moog-driven melodies. The single “Friends of P” off their first album was a modern rock radio hit, peaking at #7 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Chart and #92 on the Billboard Hot 100. After touring for Seven More Minutes the band disbanded.
Yet on October 24, 2005, the tenth anniversary of the band’s formation, Matt Sharp announced he was bringing back The Rentals after a six year absence.
