The group is signed both to anticon.|anticon and Alien Transistor . They are joined live by Jordan Dalrymple who now plays Dax Pierson 's parts following a 2005 Subtle (music)|Subtle tour accident which left Dax Quadriplegia|quadriplegic . As of 2010, Jordan has officially joined, and has been contributing in the studio. Console also appears to no longer be a contributing member of the group.
The band's name stems from the concept of the 12 apostles and Jesus Christ forming a group that comprises 13 mortal men as well as God. Distinguishing between The Notwist and Themselves in the context of which group is the '13' and which is 'God' is thus disingenuous; in the example above, God is inherently contained within the '13', creating a symbiotic relationship so strong it is unable to be severed. As 13 & God are not a Christian group, but do explore elements of philosophy, spirituality and existentialism, the name 13 & God is generally considered to be more of a reflection of those elements, as well as the concept of 'identity' itself.
