The Rotters
Prior to forming The Horrors, Rotter took part in a punk-esque band, The Rotters (no relation to the 70's American punk band), named after The Rotters' Club, where he took inspiration for his pseydonym, formed in a hurry after a club offered them a gig. He was joined by friends Dylan "Rotter" Wigoder (vocals), "Robot"/"Comedy" Jess "Rotter" Meek (bass), and Emily "Rotter" Watson (guitar). Not in any way a serious drummer, Badwan took up the instrument, completely unable to keep a decent beat. The band have released one triple A-side single, "Japanese Punk", but have admitted they are not a serious outfit, wrote all their songs in a matter of hours and never practice.

Artwork
Illustrating, however, is his forte. His artwork can be seen in issues of Vice Magazine, Up Music Magazine, and various other sources. It can also be found on the cover of Hatcham Social's (another native English band) singles "How Soon Was Then?" (Popgrooves) and "Till The Dawn/Penelope (Under My Hat)" (Waks Records). It was recently announced in the NME that in early '08, Badwan will be publishing a book of illustrations. Recently announced in NME, Badwan will be holding his first art exhibition in the Bodhi Gallery in London. The gallery was presented October 12th through the 21st. [1]
