Ya its spelled R-E-N-A-G-D-E, there's no vowel between the G and D. I dont know how its supposed to be pronounced. I think of it as more of a symbol then a word.
I'm Terry, I like depressing songs that mix well with rye and things that go boom. Our newly printed disc Part 1 is full of boom, Part 2 will go good with rye. We're an almost metal band. We starting by releasing an almost Christmas disc.
In the beginning Chad and I were sitting around his apartment laundry room writing the dumbest songs we could think of. A little while later I thought of putting them to tape. Made a couple rather difficult to listen to demos. Friends were like 'wow.... you need help'. Chad and I did perform at least once as 'Renagde'. But our attempts to be a metal band without a drummer sadly didn't catch on. And so ended the first chapter of Renagde.
Over the next year it began to include a film club, The Lost Soles made a few amature vids, showed them around town. Music was more a background thing.
As an offshoot of that experience Renagde the band became Renagde Terror - the visual artist beginning in 2003 with the making of a moody cartoon "A Cage In 2" and its sound-track the song "Breathe". A few other others such as 'Enter' were completed, many more uncompleted.
Around that time Chad's reworking of How Was It (Like I Care) from Part 2 inspired a year of music 'tinkering' with the old punk songs of ours this led to a couple of Renagde Terror demo albums 'F.U.I.S.' and 'Show Your Blood' both were briefly available online and at Itunes. And curiously sold a little bit too.
These years had some mini-shows, most notably at The Pyramid with Chad, and a lot of random solo acoustic performances at various places across Winnipeg. During this time the punk songs began to evolve into a weird hybrid folk-metal-punk-mood-cheese-Ijussdonno style.
In early 2006 Curtis joined as a bass player, but would only do so with the 'blessing' of his spiritual advisers. So they did their meditation thing to see what the spirits thought and they said it would be a good thing but the name had to be just Renagde. Some live jams were performed with session drummer Scott Druming and last winter saw the release of a real actual CD called 'Wreathe'. It began as a Christmas CD, but we ditched the carols and instead made it a 'winter' themed thing.
'RISE' animated cartoon video for the song from "Wreathe", see it on our website.
Full-length Show at the Albert followed. Much smoke. Returned to the Albert March 10, 2007. Much more smoke, and blinkey lights, and stuffed toys. And during Nu Adventure saw a ghost walk through the stage... weird. Seems we're raising the dead.
Mike Jarrow joined as drummer that year and played his first show with us was Aug 18, 2007. An experimental show that made use of the Park Theatre to re-introduce visuals into the project. Something we hope we can return to someday.
After some follow up shows we decided to hold off making live shows a regular thing and get those old Renagde Terror songs hammered into amazing new Renagde songs.
This took a long time. In the end it became Renagde self-titled Part 1 and Part 2. Divided in large part between heavy/mellow songs. Part 1 now out, with 2 to follow in January of 2010.
We ended up using both Scott and Mike on the recording, and we performed appearances using both in 2009. Uncertain who will be in that seat going forward. Chad returned, and made a contribution on Part 2.

I stumbled upon your site today... Glad to see that you are still playing music. Please do come by the open mic... The room isn't as big as the Regal Beagle, but does have a similar 'warm' sound to it... We also have an awesome crew of very supportive artists and audience members!!!
You rocked the Park Theater on Saturday! Great job. Love the video you showed while you played. Enjoyed the tunes, of course, and the friends who came there.
Sure glad we came out; thanks.
Keep it up! We'll see ya soon again, we hope. _____________________________ Johnny Nomad & the Wanderers
Really great show you guys put on at the Park Theatre! I had a blast, your stage show kicks ass. I hope to hear (and see) you play again soon. Keep Rockin.. yeeeeeeeeeeeeah!
It is definitely ambitious, but I want it badly! I'm so focused on this right now that I'm confident they'll give me a crack at it. Thanks for the props on the sounds and spread the word. LB 2006!!!
