Van She is a band from Sydney, Australia. Their label, Modular Recordings, describes Van She as a "new band from Sydney fresh on ideas, fresher than Flavor Flav, fresh like coriander, fresher than the Fresh Prince." [http://www.modularpeople.com/vanshe/ Retrieved 16 June 2007] Despite these claims, the band began with a sound very much rooted in the 80s, heavy on synthesizer, although later material reflects a more textured sound.

It began in 2005 when band members Nick Routledge, Matt Van Schie, Michael Di Francesco, and Tomek Archer all responded to an advertisement in Sydney’s Drum Media Magazine and arrived at an audition for a rock band with influences including Sepultura, Entombed, Black Skull and Phil Collins.Fact|date=April 2008 This chance meeting led to the creation of Van She.

In 2005 Van She released their self-titled debut EP, and in 2008 released their debut album, V.
