From there they started remixing other people tracks, the first was their massive Remix of “Creeps” by The Freaks. Cassie joined the group as the lead vocalist and lyricist in 2005. They have enjoyed an amazing rise to become one of Australia’s leading Electro/Dance Outfits. In April’ 09, Kam Denny departed the group and is no longer involved in any Vandalism productions or live performances.

Andy Van has been one of Australia’s leading DJs for well over 15 years and has spun at many of Australia’s biggest clubs & events including Summadayze, Gatecrasher, Stereosonic, One Love, Kink, Family, HQ and Home.

It was during her club dancing days that she met Andy Van & eventually their love of dance music bought them into the studio together. Her first song with Vandalism ‘Never say Never’ became a huge club hit around the world. And so also began the start of her professional song writing career by penning the songs ‘She Got It’, ‘Smash Disco’ ‘Twisted’ & ‘Hablando’.
