Artist History Formed in 1999 by longtime friends Mike and Bryant Sullivan, Rinsengo began as an experiment in songwriting. As the band's sound coalesced, its roots in totally computerized music expanded. Live instruments were added, as was vocalist Lindsay Schoenberger. The band became a fusion of several genres, utilizing elements of ambient, trance, industrial, acid house, alt-rock, classical, and hardcore. As the band's popularity grew, many collaboraters came forward, including noted East Coast guitarist Matt Sullivan, and remixers DJ Sinn Fein and DJ Pierce Connolly. Now Rinsengo is poised for the simultaneous release of its first three albums: The Jessica Factor, Electric Twilight Metropolis, and Pyronestly, with a possible live album and East Coast tour in the works. Rinsengo is enjoying its greatest opportunities ever, and plan on making themselves known on the national stage.
