Nokturnl is a band formed in 1996 in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. Sometimes called rap metal; their music is hard to categorise,[1][2] but their lyrics are influenced by their experience as Indigenous Australians. Nokturnl won "Band of the Year" at The Deadlys in 1998, 2000 and 2003.[3][4][5]
They signed with Festival Mushroom offshoot Sputnik Records in December 1999. Their first release, "Neva Mend", was nominated for the ARIA Awards for Best Alternative Release and Best Video.[6]
They have toured in Europe[7] and in Brazil.[8][9] They toured Australia with Spiderbait,[10] and have supported Powderfinger and Regurgitator, they have recorded with Spiderbait, Machine Gun Fellatio and Primary, and have performed at the Survival Festival Concert (1998) and Big Day Out (2000).[11] On 3 July 2000 they performed a live set for TripleJ's Live at the Wireless. Channel V aired an hour-long documentary on 16 October 2000 featuring live footage shot on 28 July 2000 at a show with Midnight Oil in Alice Springs.
Their music has been featured in the films Radiance, Yolngu Boy and Saturday Night, Sunday Morning.
