A group ahead of their time, The Herd boldly delved into controversial topics and opened conversations around anti-racism, decolonisation, anti-war and environmentalism through their songwriting, with π‘‡β„Žπ‘’ 𝑆𝑒𝑛 π‘π‘’π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿ 𝑆𝑒𝑑𝑠 cementing them as one of the most sociopolitically vocal acts in the country. The ARIA and J Award-nominated record also introduced singer Jane Tyrrell to The Herd, who, after featuring on the album and performing with them on the opening shows of the tour, was asked to join the band over the phone as they went on stage for their triple j Live at the Wireless show in Newcastle.
The Sun Never Sets led to one of the most iconic Like A Versions in triple j history, with The Herd’s cover of Redgum’s β€˜I Was Only 19’. The track featured on the album’s re-issue, was certified ARIA Gold, and landed at #18 both in 2005’s triple j Hottest 100 and 2023’s Hottest 100 of Like A Versions - the only song polled from that decade, and a testament to its enduring impact.
With an unconventional but incredibly compelling set-up of rappers, singers, guitars, laptops, samplers bass, and piano accordion, The Herd were swiftly cemented as one of Australia’s most exciting live bands. Their popularity was heightened with appearances at Australia’s biggest festivals, including Big Day Out, Splendour In The Grass, Falls Festival, Homebake, Groovin The Moo, Parklife, and many more.
An extension of the project’s impact, the core members of The Herd established and ran Elefant Traks, one of Australia’s most respected independent labels, for 25 years before its closure in 2024. Alongside their labelmates, The Herd joined a sold out send-off tour to celebrate the label’s legacy, with performances at Sydney Opera House, Melbourne Recital Centre, and Brisbane’s The Tivoli.
Reflecting on 20 years of The Sun Never Sets, The Herd member and founder of Elefant Traks, Kenny Sabir aka Traksewt, says it was the album that changed everything for the group. β€œπΌπ‘‘ π‘€π‘Žπ‘  π‘‘β„Žπ‘’ π‘“π‘–π‘Ÿπ‘ π‘‘ π‘‘π‘–π‘šπ‘’ 𝑀𝑒 π‘π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘˜π‘’ π‘‘β„Žπ‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘’π‘”β„Ž π‘‘π‘œ π‘“π‘’π‘ π‘‘π‘–π‘£π‘Žπ‘™π‘ , π‘€β„Žπ‘–π‘β„Ž π‘€π‘Žπ‘ π‘›β€™π‘‘ π‘’π‘Žπ‘ π‘¦ π‘“π‘œπ‘Ÿ π‘Ž β„Žπ‘–π‘ β„Žπ‘œπ‘ π‘π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘œπ‘› π‘Žπ‘› 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑑 π‘™π‘Žπ‘π‘’π‘™ π‘π‘Žπ‘π‘˜ π‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘›.
