The band have released four studio albums, "Trickster" (1998), "Zerøspace" (2002), and "Trypt0fanatic" (2010). An EP "The Invisible Plan" (2011). And a remix EP "Phi In The Sky" (2001), released in between "Trickster" & "Zerøspace".
The band re-released "Trickster" as "Trickstereprocess" in 2004, which included 5 new bonus tracks, along with a bonus DVD. After the release of "Trickstereprocess", the group called it quits and went their separate ways. 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. These sessions resulted in the brand new album "Tryptofanatic".
Kidneythieves have hired bassist Mirv Douglas and are working on their new EP "The Invisible Plan" to be released in October 2011.

Kidneythieves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its all I can do love
Push coming to to shove
Its all I can do love
I’ve had enough
Who are you to want all of me
Scream scream say my name
I’ll slap your pretty face awake.
goddamn, could you feel an emotion
(all I do is Beg)
goddamn, could you show what you’re made of
(all I do is Beg)
god damn could you feel an emotion, show what your made of
it’s all I can take
goddamn, could you feel an emotion
I think you love to see me beg.
You cared so long ago
It’s breaking me down love
I’ve had enough
Gotta to move on love
You’ve taken it all love
Push comes to shove
I’ve had enough
Who are you to want me to stay
Who are you
Scream scream say my name
I’ll slap your pretty face awake.
Who are you to do this?
Stay or just forget it
Darling, if you could just scream my name
goddamn, could you feel an emotion
(all I do is Beg)
goddamn, could you show what you’re made of
(all I do is Beg)
god damn could you feel an emotion, show what your made of
it’s all I can take
goddamn, could you feel an emotion
I think you love to see me beg.
The song Beg by Kidneythieves is a powerful and emotional piece about a toxic and abusive relationship. The lyrics evoke strong emotions and create vivid imagery of pain and desperation.
The singer is pleading with their partner, asking them to feel something, anything, and show some emotion. The repetition of the line "goddamn, could you feel an emotion" emphasizes the singer's frustration and desperation. The partner seems to be emotionally unavailable and insensitive, causing the singer to feel like they have to beg for any kind of attention or affection.
The chorus is particularly intense, as the singer accuses their partner of enjoying seeing them beg. This is a common tactic used by abusers, as they enjoy exerting power and control over their victims. The singer is fed up with this dynamic and ready to move on, but the partner is still trying to hold onto the relationship.
Overall, Beg is a haunting and raw depiction of an unhealthy relationship and serves as a warning against staying in toxic situations.
