Penfold’s official date of inception is unknown. The four members began playing music together sometime in the early nineties but the entity known as penfold emerged some time in 1996 or 1997.
The natural course of live performances soon ensued and the band began to build a small following. After playing music together for over 10 years, 3 record releases (1997’s “your eyes have all the answers” 7 inch, 1998’s “amateurs and professionals” CDEP, and 2001’s “our first taste of escape” LP) and hundreds of live shows, in March of 2003 penfold decided to call it a day.
Their final show took place in Old Bridge, New Jersey at the M & M hall on March 22nd. They played 2 sets lovingly to an audience of old and new friends from all over the world. It was an incredible day for the four.
Following the band’s break-up, three original members started a band called the moirai ( www.themoirai.com ) They released an EP called “bury yourself” and disbanded soon afterward.
In February of 2005 the band reformed to play a reunion show at the Hamilton Street Cafe in Boundbrook, New Jersey. In September of 2011 they reunited once again to support the re-release of their 2 records on limited edition vinyl which led to a small tour in Japan in 2012. They played a few local shows after the Japan tour but disbanded again soon afterward. Since then, the four members of penfold remain friends and comrades.
