About Kidneythieves

When multi-instrumentalist/producer Bruce Somers and singer/songwriter Free Dominguez met in a Los Angeles restaurant in 1997 to see if a musical union was in the stars, he brought to the table a background in industrial rock ala Nine Inch Nails and metal ala Rage Against the Machine. She came in with more of an affinity for hip-hop, trip-hop, and beat-music, along the lines of Tricky and Portishead.

Together as Kidneythieves, the duo’s blended backgrounds make for a cutting edge electronic industrial offering that had Seventeen magazine squealing, “If Trent Reznor had a female alter ego, it’d be Free Dominguez,” Billboard raving that they are “as menacing as the urban legend from which they took their name,” and All Music Guide declaring the group an “industrial menace that knows when to show its sensitive side.”

“We came in from these two different musical places but where our points of interest collided, and what we bonded over musically, was in more of the groove stuff like Massive Attack and Portishead, and it’s in this intersection of interests where we’ve been able to carve out a unique sound for ourselves that’s constantly evolving,” says Bruce.

After 14 years of musical bliss that saw the release of three critically-acclaimed full-length records, three EPs, one live record, and thousands of incendiary live shows headlining venues as well as opening for KMFDM, The Used, Tommy Lee, Sevendust, and others, Kidneythieves have created what they deem their finest musical offering yet with their new EP, The Invisible Plan, featuring five songs of pure unadulterated musical mayhem set for release on October 18th via their own Crooked Wood Music.

“We felt after Trypt0fanatic it was a lot of heavy songs and we always liked the balance of heavy and light – contrast is a big part of what we do,” says Bruce. “So we wanted The Invisible Plan to go a little more to the electronic side – a little less guitar, a little more experimenting with different types of keyboard sounds, and more texture than the obvious guitar sounds. The result, for me, is that this is one of the best things that we’ve done. It’s something new – it’s loud, but groovy, with an amazing story and amazing lyrics.”

The concept of The Invisible Plan is a continuation of the storyline that began with Kidneythieves’ debut 1998 record, Trickster. “Every album has a story thread that leads into the next,” explains Free. “The story coming out of Trypt0fanatic is discovering how to use the dream in waking life for survival. The Invisible Plan is putting that into action: Living your life so that things find you, and changing the pattern of events around you. It is ‘invisible’ because in order for the power to not dissipate, you have to keep it to yourself, and find others with this same mutual understanding — a group of people fighting the good fight to make the world better. It becomes this unspoken thing, this Invisible Plan, what we need to master our lives here and deal with everything in a positive way.”
