Virtual band members

WitchGang is a virtual band supergroup created in late 2023. Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, DJ/producer Hudson Mohawke, and Dave Sitek (TV On the Radio) appear to be principals in the band, with individual song contributions from Jean Dawson, Audrey Nuna, Thomas Fec (Tobacco), L Devine, and Maya B. As a virtual band, WitchGang so far has only been publicly represented by a single image with five obscured figures, possibly AI-generated.

History

The first public notice of the band happened on December 6, 2023, with the announcement of the band lineups for the release of the Fortnite Festival game mode (a Guitar Hero/Rock Band play-alike) in the popular Fortnite video game. WitchGang was conspicuous in the lineup as an unknown, brand-new band included alongside extremely popular and established bands from the music industry. Witchgang's first two singles, "Nothing's Alright" and "Timeless", had been released on digital music platforms a couple weeks prior, and their social media profiles had launched a week earlier, to no notice by anyone.

The identities of the famous musicians behind the virtual group project were soon discovered by reading the song credits available on the digital music platforms. Upon inspecting the trademark registrations for WitchGang, it was discovered that they are registered to a Reznor/Ross joint holding company (TRARMSA, LLC (Trent Reznor-Atticus Ross Master Services Agreement)), seemingly confirming the principal roles of Reznor and Ross in the inception and stewardship of the supergroup band.
