The Herd

There is more than one band called The Herd. 1. The Herd is a hip-hop group from suburban Sydney. They have released four full-length albums since 2001's self-titled debut. Unusually for a hip-hop outfit, The Herd's full band format permits dynamic live shows. The Herd's members include MCs Ozi Batla, Urthboy and Berzerkatron, Unkle Ho (beats), Traksewt (piano accordion, clarinet and beats), Sulo (beats and guitar), Toe-Fu (guitar), Rok Poshtya (bass) and singer Jane Tyrrell. Their songs often feature politically-oriented lyrics.

Ratcat

Ratcat were an Australian indie rock band of the late 1980s and early 1990s fronted by Simon Day. Their combination of indie pop songwriting and energetic punk-style guitar won them fans from both the indie and skate-punk communities. Ratcat formed in 1986 in Sydney and were a mainstay of that city's live music scene until they were eventually signed to Waterfront Records where they released a self-titled EP, several singles ("I Think I Love You", "Baby's Got A Gun") and their debut album, This Nightmare in 1989. Another EP, Killing Joke, and another single, "Saying Goodbye" followed.

Nihilista

Nihilista was born in Breslau. Growing up on the outskirts of civilization. His first lullaby was the sound of post-communist factories. Initially involved in punk subculture, and then slowly dissolving into the industrial and the occult scenes (Der Sieg, Quadriga Sexualis). In 1999 he moved to London, which has been his harbour ever since. Penetrating the underbelly of London's nightlife, he's active in both the occult and fetish communities. During the recording of the "Divine Misanthropy" album, the band gained a new member - in the shape of Goter.
