The Austin by way of Sussex (uh, right…) Prima Donnas—Otto Matik, Niki Holiday, and Julius Seizure—took our world by storm in the late nineties with their decidedly nouveau-New-Wave pop anthems. Alas, they are now defunct, but their music has inspired an entire movement in modern music—the now-pervasive retro-synth-pop.
