Mindless Self Indulgence

New York City's Mindless Self Indulgence bring their eccentric blend of metal, electronic, punk and other forms of rock to the Crocodile Rock Saturday, September 20th.

In 1999, the band released their first album, Tight, which they mixed on Atari equipment. Their music seems to be influenced by early 1980s culture and it frequently contains samples of early 80's rock, as well as chiptune-style beeps and tones. In 2000, the band released the album Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy, and the next year saw Vanessa leaving the band and Lyn-Z joining the band in her place. The band's first release with Lyn-Z as a member was the live album Alienating Our Audience, which was followed by the Despierta Los Ni�os EP in 2003. 2005 saw the band achieving recognition from the media and critics with the release of their third album, You'll Rebel to Anything; the subsequent singles from the album, "Straight To Video" and "Shut Me Up" both reached #1 on the Billboard singles charts. The band toured with material from the album for two years, releasing a second EP titled Another Mindless Rip Off along the way, as well as headlining the "Revolution Stage" at Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution Tour in 2007.
