New York City, NY (1997 – present)
Mindless Self Indulgence (Or MSI) is an American electropunk band that found its origin in New York City, NY in 1997. The current lineup is Jimmy Urine (vocals), Steve, Righ? (guitar), Lyn-Z (bass) and Kitty (drums). They describe their music as “industrial jungle pussy punk”. Though considered electropunk, they are heavily influenced by jungle, industrial, electronic dance music, and hip-hop. Intentionally iconoclastic, James Euringer (who uses the stage name Little Jimmy Urine (Lead singer)) owes sartorial influence to the New York Dolls, wearing fishnet shirts at concerts, and is occasionally seen in shorts or pants with the inside cut out similar to how a skirt looks, and neon stockings. Euringer’s outfits and antics are often the focal point of live shows.
Before starting the band Mindless Self Indulgence, james euringer launched a solo album in 1995, called Mindless Self-Indulgence, which he had produced by himself and was limited to 500 copies. In contrary to popular belief, this was not an album by the band Mindless Self Indulgence.
Another large influence in the band’s music comes from early 1980s culture. Frequently the music contains samples of early 80’s hip-hop or rock, as well as Atari-style beeps and tones. Their second album as a band, 1999’s Tight, was even allegedly mixed on Atari equipment. Many of Urine’s dress styles consist of the juxtaposition of popular 1980s clothing or bastardized versions thereof.

Everything up to and including Another Mindless Rip Off is good. All that's wrong with You'll Rebel is that it's too short and it has a couple of bad songs.
