Matt Sharp: Difference between revisions

 

After a slow period in 2005, Sharp contemplated what to do next, considering either a new solo album, starting a new collaborative partnership (although he didn't state with whom). The possibility of him rejoining [[Weezer]] was also an option.<ref>{{cite web | last = | first = | url = http://www.therentals.com/return/diary/ | title = Diary: Day One 10-24-05 | format = | work = | publisher =TheRentals.com | accessdate = 2007-10-10}}</ref> Thus he decided to re-form [[The Rentals]] after a six year absence. Work has begun on a third LP and they released an EP entitled [[The Last Little Life EP]] on August 14, 2007. The lineup of the reformed band is different from the original, including original backup vocalist [[Rachel Haden]] on bass/vocals, [[Sara Radle]] on vocals/multiple instruments, Ben Pringle of [[Nerf Herder]] on synths, Lauren Chipman on viola/synth/vocals and Dan Joeright on drums. Sara Radle tells the story of when she first became aware of Matt Sharp's idea to reform The Rentals on her [http://www.myspace.com/sararadle myspace profile] in her blog. The Rentals toured in North America in the summers of 2006 and 2007; these tours were notable for featuring a version of "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams," a Weezer b-side that Haden sang lead on and Sharp played bass on, the latter still being in the band at that time.
