Abouttheaudience was a British indie pop group of the late 1990s. They were founded by guitarist Billy Reeves, formerly of indie group Congregation. The group was fronted by Sophie Ellis-Bextor and achieved some success with their new wave-style records. Guitarist Dean Mollett, bassist Kerin Smith, drummer Patrick "Patch" Hannan and keyboardist Nigel "Nyge" Butler made the remainder of the cast.
The group was signed to Mercury on Sophie's 18th birthday, had a fair run of chart success and released one album. Reeves left the band in 1999 and despite the remaining band members writing new material, theaudience split soon afterwards. Bextor eventually started a solo career and had much success, albeit in major label disco music. Although their one and only album received critical acclaim, it did not sell well and was later discontinued.
