The Servant was an English alternative band, formed in London in 1998. They are popular in France, Spain, Switzerland as well as other European countries.
The band received coverage in the NME.[1] French cultural magazine Les Inrockuptibles [2] and posthumously in The Guardian which described the band as having "flirted with international success over their decade-long career before finally splitting in 2007" in a feature on lead singer Dan Black, by then a solo artist.[3]
Black, Fisher and Sharpe were originally guitarist, bassist, and drummer in Minty, the former band of the late Leigh Bowery. Minty were involved in the Romo scene in 1995-1997; Sharpe also played drums for another Romo band, Plastic Fantastic.
They produced two EPs and two albums between 1999 and 2006.
The band split up in 2007. A compilation album was released in 2014.
