Kidneythieves is an Industrial rock band led by Free Dominguez (vocals) and Bruce Somers (guitar/engineering). Also present in the band are Chris Schleyer (guitar), Christian Dorris (bass), and Sean Sellers (drums).

In 1998, they released their first single, "S+M (A Love Song)" (see below), as well as their first album, Trickster. They followed up their initial releases with the remix EP Phi in the Sky in 2001, and their second album Zerøspace in 2002. In 2004, they re-released Trickster as Trickstereprocess, which included completely digitally remastered tracks, 5 bonus tracks and a bonus DVD. After the release of Trickstereprocess, Free Dominguez went on to create an indie project while Bruce Somers created the band ShockNina. In January of 2007, Free Dominguez sent out a newsletter via email stating that she and Bruce are collaborating once again on brand new Kidneythieves material, and a recent announcement on MySpace states that half of the new album and the cover artwork have been completed. As of mid-August 2008 Kidneythieves have announced their first live performance since their reincarnation as well as posted a new song "Dark Horse" on their MySpace page. As of 2008, Kidneythieves have sold over 100,000 units, making them an extremely successful independent musical effort.
