The xx – Oliver Sim, Romy Madley Croft and Jamie Smith (Jamie xx) – formed in 2005 at London’s Elliot School, the alma mater of notable alumni of Hot Chip, Burial and Four Tet. Bonding over a shared love of dark, emotive 80s guitar sounds and the high-end sheen of American R&B, The xx’s unique sound befits a band whose wide range of influences combine beautiful, hushed vocal duets and a brilliantly inventive use of samples and low-end frequencies to produce stark, sweet, melancholic pop.

Released in August 2009, the album xx has achieved outstanding heights, achieving gold sales in Australia, platinum sales in the UK, and accumulating over 1.3 million sales worldwide.

The album has also been awarded the highly prestigious Mercury Music Prize, The Guardian’s First Album Award, Album of the Year by both Rough Trade Shops and XFM, and two South Bank and one NME Award nominations.

In addition, Jamie xx has crafted a name for himself as one of the world’s hottest producers, with his brilliant 2011 underground hit ‘Farer Nearer’ and remixes for the likes of Adele, Radiohead, Gil Scott-Heron. Jamie xx’s remix of Drake and Rhianna’s ‘Take Care’ was a worldwide #1 and The xx remix of Florence & The Machine’s ‘You’ve Got The Love’ was also a massive internet sensation.

Known for their incredible live shows, The xx have captivated the world over, playing sold out shows in the UK, USA, Australia and mainland Europe. Don’t miss your chance to catch The xx live in Sydney and Melbourne this July.
