Nitocris began when Andi, Jess, Sara and Kira met at Hunters Hill high school in Sydney, at the age of 14. They were 4 rock music loving, skater outcasts who didnt seem to fit into the usual girly role model of their peers. They decided to start a band. After 10 years, approximately 1500 shows, 2 albums and 5 EP's Nitocris made the very difficult decision to have an indefinite and possibly permanent break to pursue their own personal projects.

Nitocris () possibly was the last queen of the Sixth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. Her name is found in writings long considered as relatively accurate resources: a major chronological documentation of the reigns of the kings of ancient Egypt that was composed in the third-century BC by Manetho, an Ancient Egyptian priest; and by the ancient Greek historian, Herodotus, in his Histories (430 BC). She is thought to be the daughter of Pepi II and Neith and to be the sister of Merenre Nemtyemsaf II.
Her historicity has been questioned by some with speculation that, if she was a historical ruler, she may have been a regent. Another view, by the Egyptologist Kim Ryholt, argues that Nitocris is legendary and derives from the historical king Neitiqerty Siptah who succeeded Nitocris's brother, Merenre Nemtyemsaf II, at the transition between the Old Kingdom and First Intermediate Period.
