Batrider was originally Sarah Chadwick on vocals/guitar, Julia Rouse on guitar, Tara Wilcox on drums and Toby Morris on bass.

Sarah and Tara played together in a band, Teen Town Ace, while at Hamilton Girls High School. Julia, who attended the same school, had a band called Vixen.

The three of them moved to Wellington and met Toby, who was working as an illustrator with Chopperchick Comics, when Sarah and Julia moved into a flat with him.
