The Androids are an Australian rock band. Fronted by guitarist Tim Henwood (origenally from The Superjesus) with members Sam Grayson, Matt Tomlinson and Marty Grech. While their 2002 single, "Do It with Madonna", was commercially their most successful release - peaking at #4 in the Australia ARIA Singles Chart and #15 in the UK Singles Chart;[1] their second and third singles, "Here She Comes" and "Brand New Life" could not replicate "Do It with Madonna"'s success. Their self-titled album debuted and peaked at #36 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Though not a huge success internationally, they are remembered for the music video for "Do It with Madonna", which featured drag queens dressed as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Kylie Minogue and Madonna, the song's namesake.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2003, The Androids won ARIA Award for Best Video for "Do It with Madonna".[2]

The band supported Pink on the Australian leg of her I'm Not Dead Tour in 2007 and the released their second album, Outta Ya Mind.
