Secret History Presents: the XX

Bonding over a shared love of stripped back anti-folk and mid-90s R&B, The xx's unique sound befits a wide range of influences that include everything from Aaliyaah to Cocorosie, Rhianna to The Cure, Missy Elliot to the Chromatics, The Kills to Ginuwine, The Pixies to Mariah Carey and Justin Timberlake to Tracey & The Plastics.
These influences combine via beautiful, hushed vocal duets and a brilliantly inventive use of samplers and low-end frequencies to produce the stark, sweet melancholic pop of this debut single. Available on 7" vinyl, 'Crystalised' also features a cover of band favourite Aaliyah's 'Hot Like Fire' on the b-side that further expands The xx's hauntingly soulful sound. Both tracks are produced by the band themselves and engineered by Cocadisco's Rodaidh McDonald.
This show is for ages 18 and up. Tickets for this show are $12/14.
