Out Hud was an electronic dance rock band formed in 1996 in the Bay Area of California and later based in New York City. The band consisted of guitarist Nic Offer, bassist Tyler Pope, cellist Molly Schnick, vocalist/drummer Phyllis Forbes and mixer Justin VanDerVolgen. Pope, Offer, and VanDerVolgen are also members of the similar band, !!!. Their second album, Let Us Never Speak of It Again, saw the group add vocals to their music, with Forbes singing while a drum machine filled in her usual role and Schnick provided backing vocals.

Shortly after the release of their second album it was announced that Pope would not be joining the band on tour and instead would be concentrating on LCD Soundsystem. It was then announced in September 2005 that their concert in New York might be their last show. [1] On July 12, 2006, Molly Schnick confirmed rumors that the band had broken up, saying "Yes we did break up. We figured everyone already knew. There are clues about it all over the last record. Solo records to follow." [2]
