Before its establishment in 2001, the Sydney radio market was considered by many to be bland, no new commercial licenses having been given for 25 years. One of the driving forces behind the creation of Nova was the growing demographic of youth who were embracing the commercialised anti-pop movement fronted by such artists as Daft Punk & Spiderbait, but for whom Triple J had no commercial incentives to offer. Daft Punk is the collective name of Paris musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born February 8, 1974) and Thomas Bangalter (born January 3, 1975). ...
