- Negativland is composed of Chris Grigg, Mark Hosler, Don Joyce, 'Richard Lyons III', and David 'Weatherman' Wills.
- The band is best known for detournments of pop songs, and audio collages that create sharp satires on pop and commercial culture.
- A detournment of the song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2 (including an unauthorised sampling of a profanity filled out-take by Casey Kasem) created several landmark legal points in the "Fair Use" concept. The case is detailed in Negativland's book "Fair Use: The Story of the Letter U & the Numeral 2". The tracks in question have been re-released on a CD entitled "These Guys Are from England and Who Gives a Shit".
- Member Richard Lyons III, born Richard Duaine Lyons in Castro Valley, California.on 19 April 1959 died on 19 April 2016 in Seattle, Washington.
