The Rogue Traders formed as a duo in the UK in 2003, after a number of moderately successful singles they remixed/covered INXS's "Need You Tonight" and renamed it "One Of My Kind". The track peaked at number ten in Australia - giving them the recognition they needed. The Rogue Traders returned in 2005, with their new album Here Come the Drums, and a new band member Natalie Bassingthwaighte. The first single “Voodoo Child”, reached number four in Australia, number seven in New Zealand and number three in the UK.
With the release of their latest album 'Better In The Dark', Rogue Traders are aiming to build on the global success of 'Here Come The Drums'. Released in 2005, 'Here Come The Drums' sold 4 x platinum (300 000 copies) in Australia alone, and spent over 80 weeks in the ARIA top 100. The album scored Rogue Traders four ARIA Award nominations and spawned five top 10 airplay hits - 'Voodoo Child', 'Way To Go!', 'Watching You', 'We're Coming Home' and `'In Love Again'. 'Voodoo Child' debuted at #3 on the UK charts, where it stayed for five weeks, and is currently building in momentum in the US. In late 2007, Rogue Traders will tour the US, before returning to the UK and Australia.
