Rogue Traders are an ARIA-award winning pop and rock influenced electronic dance music act from Australia, notable for their 2006 international hit singles "Voodoo Child", "Way To Go!" and "Watching You".

They are made up of co-founder James Ash and lead singer Natalie Bassingthwaighte, with Cameron McGlinchey and Tim Henwood providing drums and guitar in the live line-up, and occasionally in the studio.

The group's founders (James Ash, Steve Davis) met in London in 1989. Before forming Rogue Traders in 2002, Ash and Davis worked together on many projects, most notably as dance act Union State.

In 2003, they released their debut album as Rogue Traders, titled We Know What You're Up To. Singles Give In To Me and Stay? (the latter featuring Ash on vocals) were both minor top 100 chart tracks in Australia. However their re-working of INXS' Need You Tonight, One Of My Kind, managed to achieve considerable success, peaking at #10 in the ARIA charts and scoring them an ARIA award.

After the success of One Of My Kind, Ash and Davis decided to form a fully-fledged band and returned in 2005 with their sophomore album Here Come The Drums featuring vocalist Natalie Bassingthwaighte. Bassingthwaighte had previously risen to fame in Australia as an actress on the television show Neighbours, and her roles in critically acclaimed stage musicals such as Grease, Rent and Chicago. Davis began working solely as a songwriter for the band and hid away from the spotlight.

The band went on to have major success in Australia, becoming of the biggest pop groups in the country with a string of consecutive hit singles and tours. in 2007 they released their third album, and final with Bassingthwaighte on vocals, Better In The Dark. After embarking on a sold-out tour in 2008 in support of the album, Bassingthwaighte and McGlinchey, who had met in the band and been dating for quite some time, left to pursue a solo careers and begin a family together.

In 2009, indie pop singer/songwriter Mindi Jackson joined the group as their new frontwoman along with Peter Marin replacing McGlinchey on drums. They released one album, Night Of The Living Drums, but failed to meet the success of previous efforts despite receiving positive reviews and the band subsequently went on an indefinite hiatus.

In 2015, it was announced that Bassingthwaighte and McGlinchey would be returning to the band for the 10th anniversary of Here Come The Drums. While there are currently no plans to record a new album, the group have stated they are enjoying being back together and performing live again.
