The Androids are a rock band from Australia. Fronted by guitarist Tim Henwood (originally from The Superjesus). They released a single in 2002, "Do It With Madonna". It peaked at #4 in the Australia ARIA Singles Chart, and #15 in the UK Singles Chart. A second single, "Here She Comes" peaked at #15 in Australia, and there was also a third single, "Brand New Life" but it wasn't as successful. 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, P!nk, Kylie Minogue and, of course, Madonna.

The song "Here She Comes" was featured on the "American Wedding" soundtrack and the song "Do It With Madonna" was featured on "The O.C.".

After touring from late 2002 through 2004, the band has spent a majority of 2005 working on a second album.

On 8 August 2006, the webmaster of the band's website stated that "Tim's working on some new Androids tunes. Hopefully we'll get to hear some of the new stuff before the end of the year.... "

They are currently supporting Pink on her Australia - wide concert 'I'm Not Dead'

The band released the music video to "Whole Lot Of Love" on their website, with their second album "Outta Ya Mind" due in the winter.

The band is in talks to appear at the Save Bronwyn benefit at MIBT in melbourne, to protest her unfair dismissal from the college due to her learning disability.
