Brian Poole

Brian Poole (also known as Renaldo Malpractice or Renaldo M) is one half of the English musical duo Renaldo & The Loaf. He collaborated with The Residents on their 1981 demo album 4 Daze and its studio equivalent Title In Limbo.
== History with The Residents ==
After forming Renaldo & The Loaf with David Janssen, the duo sought to achieve a US record deal with Ralph Records, by sending the label three cassettes between 1979 and 1980. Struve & Sneff (1979), Songs From The Surgery (1980) and the Hat's Off Gentlemen EP (1980).
By 1981, he and David had achieved their record deal, with Ralph releasing their first LP 'Songs For Swinging Larvae' in the US that same year.
Brian & David travelled to San Francisco in March 1981 to film a promotional video for the album with Graeme Whifler. Whilst in SF, the duo met with The Residents, and the groups began to record a demo together, entitled '4 Daze'
Brian would meet with The Residents again in June of 1983, whilst The Residents were in London for their Mole Show. There they discussed the completion of the 4 Daze / Title In Limbo project, with Brian agreeing to fly back to SF to record new material for the album in October, though, David would not be able to return due to scheduling conflicts.
David recorded overdubs in his home studio, which gave to Brian to use in the sessions. The album was renamed 'Title In Limbo' and was released in November.
Brian & David would continue to release music as Renaldo & The Loaf through Ralph until 1987, when the duo broke up. 
In 2003, he produced & performed on The Residents' tribute album 'The Moles' Worm Pizza', then in 2009, he contributed vocals to The Residents/Schwump cover EP 'Aphids In The Hall' by The Bumps.
In 2016, Brian would be interviewed for the film about The Residents 'The Theory Of Obscurity'
He contributed a re-recording of 'Mahogany Wood' to the 2019 Hardy Fox tribute album 'The Godfather Of Odd'
In 2020, Poole wrote liner notes for the compilation album Eyeful. In 2023, Poole was said to be assisting The Residents in sorting through material from the Animal Lover sessions, for the forthcoming pREServed expanded CD reissue of the album. 
In 2022, Faceless Forever (book) was released, which Poole is credited as co-writing, compiling, and editing, alongside Jim Knipfel and R.A. 
In October 2023, Klanggalerie released his first solo album, They Blessed the Body Breadcrumbed, under the name Renaldo M. The album had been recorded over a period of thirty years, with "some very extended gaps in between".
