Nitzer Ebb (pronounced "night-zer ebb") was formed in 1982 by Essex schoolfriends Douglas McCarthy (vocals), David Gooday and Bon Harris on drums.
The trio began with shows in small local venues, but their arresting stage presence, military image and energy garnered a growing base of followers and soon led to appearances in larger clubs and concert venues. They released their debut single "Isn't It Funny How Your Body Works" in 1985 and their music soon becamse a fixture on the club scene.
In May of 1987 they released their debut album, That Total Age, which spawned a hit with the pounding bass rhythms and barking vocals of "Join In the Chant" and "Murderous".
The second album, Belief, was released in 1989. The band was now down to two members. Three more albums, Showtime in 1990, Ebbhead in 1991, and Big Hit in 1995 were also international successes.
