I'm about to go pick up this band at the San Francisco airport in a few hours, and I've FINALLY finalized the tour schedule.......
XYX, from Monterrey, Mexico, throughout the state of Califas, Áztlan--California, dig?--from Monday, July 20 through Tuesday, July 28. XYX are a tremendous two-piece noisepunk unit of awesome fury and femininity who combine aggressive, relentless pummelling action with partyhardy pulse and creative effects sorcery that adds a psychedelic edge. Sorta kindred to The Mayyors in that sense! Their first 7" was released last year on SS Records label and topped many year-end faves lists across the garage/art/weird/punk underground. Their newest 7" is just as stunning and just arrived to me in the mail a couple days ago, and we are bringing it on tour.
