'''Rogue Traders''' is an Australian [[electronic rock]] band formed in [[Melbourne]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] in 2002 by mainstay [[James Ash]] on keyboards. In 1989, Ash met fellow original member Steve Davis in London while both were working as DJs. Before forming Rogue Traders, the pair had worked together on many projects, including the dance music act Union State, which relocated to Melbourne in 1992. The group's name comes from the 1999 drama film, ''[[Rogue Trader (film)|Rogue Trader]]''. They were joined in 2004 by soap opera actress, [[Natalie Bassingthwaighte]], on lead vocals, [[Cameron McGlinchey]] on drums and [[Tim Henwood]] on guitar. Davis continued as a behind-the-scenes member, contributing to the songwriting process but not making any public appearances with the group.

Rogue Traders have achieved chart success in Australia, with seven top&nbsp;20 hits on the [[ARIA Charts|ARIA Singles Chart]], "[[Need You Tonight#Rogue Traders remix|One of My Kind]]", "[[Voodoo Child (Rogue Traders song)|Voodoo Child]]", "[[Way to Go!]]", "[[Watching You (Rogue Traders song)|Watching You]]", "[[We're Coming Home]]", "[[Don't You Wanna Feel]]" and "[[I Never Liked You (song)|I Never Liked You]]". Their most successful single, "Voodoo Child", peaked at number&nbsp;three on the [[UK Singles Chart]], number&nbsp;four in Australia, number&nbsp;seven on the [[RIANZ|New Zealand Singles Chart]] and number&nbsp;fifteen on the [[Irish Singles Chart]]. The group's two Top&nbsp;5 albums in Australia are ''[[Here Come the Drums]]'' (2005) and ''[[Better in the Dark]]'' (2007). In 2007, ''Here Comes the Drums'' was certified 4× platinum by ARIA for shipment of 280,000 copies, while ''Better in the Dark'' was certified platinum in 2008. As of 2008, Rogue Traders have been nominated for ten [[ARIA Music Awards|ARIA Awards]], three [[MTV Australia Video Music Awards|MTV AVMA Awards]], one [[The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards]], one Inside Film Award, and eight [[APRA Awards (Australia)|APRA Awards]].

In June 2008, Bassingthwaighte left the band to focus on her acting and solo music career. In July that year, her then-boyfriend and later husband, McGrinchey,{{citation needed|date=September 2022}} also left the band.

In November 2008, Mindi Jackson was revealed as the new lead singer to replace Bassingthwaighte. [[Peter Marin]] joined on drums to replace McGrinchey. The band was unceremoniously dumped by Sony Records in 2010, and split due to infighting shortly afterwards. Their fourth studio album and greatest hits compilation, ''[[The Sound of Drums (album)|The Sound of Drums]]'', was released after their split in November 2011.<ref name="2014int">{{Cite web|author1=Auspop |url=https://www.auspop.com.au/2015/02/welcome-to-the-all-new-auspop/|title=WELCOME TO THE ALL-NEW auspOp|date=1 February 2015|website=Auspop.com.au|access-date=23 November 2020}}</ref>

Rogue Traders first single with Bassingthwaighte's vocals, "Voodoo Child", was issued in May 2005. Its Australian release occurred without any mention of Bassingthwaighte in its promotion, as they wanted people to buy it because they liked the song instead of for its 'celebrity value'.

In October 2005, the group performed at the [[2005 NRL Grand Final|NRL Grand Final]] shortly before the release of their second album, ''[[Here Come the Drums]]'' on 23 October. By that time they had added [[Cameron McGlinchey]] on drums. The album peaked at number&nbsp;two on the ARIA Albums Chart and reached the top&nbsp;50 on the [[UK Albums Chart]].<ref name="AusCharts"/> The group had signed a new record contract with [[Sony BMG]] and now promoted their recent band members Bassingthwaighte and McGlinchey. The second single from the album, "[[Way to Go!]]" reached number&nbsp;seven in Australia, while "[[Watching You (Rogue Traders song)|Watching You]]" peaked at number&nbsp;five. Like many other modern mainstream music acts, Rogue Traders use elements of old songs in their music. However, rather than [[Sampling (music)|sampling]] the original songs, they re-record the relevant parts. "Voodoo Child" contains a re-recorded riff from "[[Pump It Up (Elvis Costello song)|Pump It Up]]" by [[Elvis Costello]] (co-credited as Declan MacManus), "Watching You" contains re-recorded elements of "[[My Sharona]]" by [[The Knack]] (co-credited to Doug Fieger and Berton Averre) and "[[In Love Again]]" contains re-recorded elements of "[[Head over Heels (Tears for Fears song)|Head over Heels]]" by [[Tears for Fears]] (co-credited to Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith).

Early in 2006, the Rogue Traders toured Australia in support of their second album and its singles. Bassingthwaighte left ''Neighbours'' to focus on her music career and filmed her final scenes on 2 June.<ref name="Leaves">{{cite web |url=http://www.throng.co.nz/neighbours/natalie-bassingthwaighte-leaves-neighbours |title=Natalie Bassingthwaighte Leaves ''Neighbours'' |last=Scap |date=9 October 2006 |publisher=Throng Media (Regan and Rachel Cunliffe) |access-date=23 May 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080629233402/http://www.throng.co.nz/neighbours/natalie-bassingthwaighte-leaves-neighbours |archive-date=29 June 2008 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }}</ref><ref name=finalz>{{cite news | last = Neil | first = Beth | title = Black Magic Woman, Actress Natalie Bassingthwaighte is out to Cast a Spell with Her Rockband | url = http://www.thefreelibrary.com/BLACK+MAGIC+WOMAN%3B+ACTRESS+NATALIE+BASSINGTHWAIGHTE+IS+OUT+TO+CAST+A...-a0147896138 | work = [[Daily Mirror]] | publisher = [[Trinity Mirror]] | access-date = 23 May 2012 | date = 7 July 2006 }}</ref> In March 2007, she reprised her role as Izzy Hoyland in scenes shot while on location in London in November 2006.<ref name="Leaves"/><ref name="Sharp3">{{cite news |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential/rogues-romantic-getaway/story-e6frewz0-1111112434854 |title=Rogue's Romantic Getaway |last1=Sharp |first1=Annette |last2=Christie |first2=Joel |last3=Harris |first3=Amy |date=30 October 2006 |work=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=28 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120923191308/http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential/rogues-romantic-getaway/story-e6frewz0-1111112434854 |archive-date=23 September 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }}</ref>

Rogue Traders won the 2006 [[MTV]] Australian Video Music Award for Best Dance Video for "Voodoo Child". In June at the [[APRA Music Awards of 2006]], Rogue Traders won their first APRA Award, with "Way to Go!" taking out the "Most Performed Dance Work" category.<ref name="APRAWin2006"/> They had twice previously been nominated in the same category, in [[APRA Music Awards of 2003|2003]] for their single "Give in to Me" and in [[APRA Music Awards of 2004|2004]] for "One of My Kind", which also won an ARIA award. Also in June 2006, Rogue Traders announced they were re-releasing ''Here Come the Drums'', as a limited edition two-CD remix set. The second CD contained remixes of their hit singles and the album included new artwork. It was released on the same day as their fourth single, "[[We're Coming Home]]" from the album. The single reached number&nbsp;fourteen.<ref name="AusCharts"/> That same month, Bassingthwaighte and Ash announced on ''[[Video Hits (Australian TV series)|Video Hits]]'' that the band were currently in the process of writing their third studio recorded album. By that time Davis had left the group but continued to contribute as part of the songwriting process. He was replaced on guitar by Tim Henwood, previously of [[The Androids]].<ref name="Wilson"/>

Rogue Traders announced in early 2006 that they had signed with the European division of Sony BMG and were to be releasing their second album ''Here Come the Drums'' and singles from the album into that market. On 10 July "Voodoo Child" became their first UK single and the album followed on 24 July. A gig was announced in the UK at [[Shepherd's Bush Empire]] in London for 11 July—to promoted "Voodoo Child" and ''Here Come the Drums''. Many radio stations across the UK had started to play "Voodoo Child" six weeks before its release. The "Voodoo Child" video clip began to receive airplay on programs across UK: ''The Box'', ''The Hits'' and ''MTV Dance''. The clip was the same as the Australian version. It reached top&nbsp;5 positions on programs and number-one on some radio stations as well. The song received numerous positive reviews from radio stations, TV programs and music critics. Some called it a 'summer anthem for 2006' and some named it either 'Record of the Week/Month'. The video and single was then put onto iTunes UK for purchase. The video reached number&nbsp;two on the iTunes Video Chart and stayed in the top&nbsp;five for several days, while the single made its way into the top&nbsp;ten and days later into the top&nbsp;five.

"Voodoo Child" was physically released on 10 July in the UK but debuted in the chart the week before at number&nbsp;eighteen due to download sales. After its official release, "Voodoo Child" reached number&nbsp;three with sales of over 21,000. Due to its UK chart success, "Voodoo Child" was issued in several European countries including [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]] and [[Luxembourg]]. On 16 October "Watching You" was released in the UK as the band's second single and peaked at number&nbsp;thirty-three on the singles chart.<ref name="UKChartsSingle"/> A new video clip was filmed, along with a new remix track, and the third UK single from ''Here Come the Drums'' was "Way to Go!" – it was issued as a [[Music download|digital download]]. In November they released "In Love Again" as a promotional single exclusively though radio, which peaked at number&nbsp;twenty on the ARIA Digital Tracks.<ref name="ARIA875">{{cite web | url = http://www.aria.com.au/issue875.pdf | archive-url = https://webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20061219130000/http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/23790/20061220-0000/issue875.pdf | url-status = dead | archive-date = 2006-12-19 | title = ARIA Report | issue = 875 | publisher = Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) | date = 11 December 2006 | access-date = 23 May 2012 }}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>

In June 2007, "Voodoo Child" was featured in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode, "[[The Sound of Drums]]" (Season 3, Episode 12). The song was preceded by the episode's villain, [[Master (Doctor Who)|The Master]], proclaiming "Here come the drums!" The song's lyrics echo the title of the episode, which refers to the drumming the Master hears in his head. Rogue Traders were also a surprise inclusion to the 2006 season of ''[[Big Brother Australia]]'', entering the house and playing a "concert" for house mates. The event was also streamed to ''Big Brother'' audiences from the program's website. The Rogue Traders' song, "Fashion" was also used as the theme tune to [[Gok Wan]]'s [[Channel 4]] television programme called ''[[Gok's Fashion Fix]]''.

In 2006, Rogue Traders went on the We're Coming Home Tour around Australia. They performed songs from ''Here Come the Drums'', kicking off each show with "Believer" and ending with an encore of "Voodoo Child". The band also previewed songs which were subsequently included on their third album, ''[[Better in the Dark]]'' (2007), including the title track, "What You're On" and "Shout Out". By the end of 2007, ''Here Comes the Drums'' was certified 4× platinum by [[Australian Recording Industry Association]] (ARIA) for shipments in excess of 280,000 copies in Australia.<ref name="ARIAcert2007">{{cite web |url=http://www.aria.com.au/pages/httpwww.aria.com.aupagesARIACharts-Accreditations-2007Albums.htm |title=ARIA Charts – Accreditations – 2007 Albums |publisher=Australian Recording Industry Association |date=31 December 2007 |access-date=22 May 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130405021039/http://www.aria.com.au/pages/httpwww.aria.com.aupagesARIACharts-Accreditations-2007Albums.htm |archive-date=5 April 2013 |df=dmy }}</ref>

In January 2007, Rogue Traders performed at the opening of the [[Australian Scout Jamboree|Australian Jamboree]] at [[Elmore, Victoria]] in front of a crowd of over 10,000. In April the group performed at the Melbourne Crown Casino, previewing some of their new songs. In May they supported British girl group [[Girls Aloud]] on [[The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits Tour]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,23663,21202702-36557,00.html|title=Aussie rockers' UK deal|website=News.com.au|access-date=23 November 2020}}</ref> ''The Sunday Telegraph'' reported that "[t]he group's management confirmed the band had been in discussions with a major US label." Rogue Traders flew to the US in July where they launched their first single into the North American market. The group then signed [[Universal Music Group]]. Unfortunately, the song failed to gain much attention in the US.

In May 2007, Old Navy, a division of Gap, Inc. in North America, featured "Believer", "Watching You", and later, "[[World Go 'Round]]" in their Summerland commercials. In June Rogue Traders completed a tour of the UK and returned to Australia to finalise their third album. In September, the lead single, "[[Don't You Wanna Feel]]", was released: it debuted on the ARIA singles chart at number&nbsp;ten,<ref name="AusCharts"/> and on the ARIA dance chart at number&nbsp;one.
