Playing an abrasive hybrid of industrial rock, punk, electronica and hip-hop, this US band was formed in 1997 by Kitty (b. Jennifer Dunn, USA; drums), Steve, Righ? (b. Steven Montano, USA; guitar), Vanessa Y.T. (bass), and Little Jimmy Urine (b. James Euringer, 7 September 1969, New York City, New York, USA; vocals). The New York City-based quartet took its wonderful moniker from an earlier Jimmy Urine solo release. Urine's brother Markus J. Euringer also helped out with the samples on the band's 1999 full-length debut, Tight, which was released on the frontman's own Uppity Cracker label. The album, which was mixed on retro equipment, included a notable cover version of Method Man's "Bring The Pain". The inelegantly titled follow-up marked the band's major label bow for Elektra Records. Featuring 30 alphabetically organized tracks, the album built on the industrial rap blueprint of the debut while the lyrics reached bizarre new heights of craziness.
Lyn-Z (b. Lindsey Ann Balato, 22 May 1979, USA) replaced Vanessa Y.T. in 2001 following the release of Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy. She made her album debut on the live document Alienating Our Audience, released through Uppity Cracker in 2002. The title was a neat summation of the Mindless Self Indulgence live experience, which featured band members in bondage gear alongside a six-foot tall frontman (Urine) with pink, spiked hair. A series of independently released EPs followed in the next two years, with the band concentrating on touring in support of the album. The hard work paid off when their excellent debut for the Metropolis Records label, You'll Rebel To Anything, broke through into the mainstream charts in summer 2005. Regularly championed by their more successful peers, the band enjoyed further critical and commercial acclaim with the 2008 follow-up, If. In their "down time" from Mindless Self Indulgence, Jimmy Urine and Steve, Righ? also record as the Left Rights.
