The xx
The xx are set to kick-off their North American tour in just a couple of days, but the London-based trio couldn't wait to share the news that they have plans to come back Stateside yet again in support of their critically acclaimed sophomore album Coexist, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard charts (Young Turks). This run in the spring will include a stop at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Tuesday, April 16.
Just last week, Oliver Sim joined Solange onstage during her show at London's XOYO to perform a cover of Nicole Wray's "Make It Hot" which you can watch video footage of here: http://youtu.be/We2PcJZLZic
In late December, Pitchfork premiered their documentary series on The xx, which features many intimate behind-the-scenes moments, along with a stunning piano rendition of their song "Fiction." You can watch it here if you missed it: http://bit.ly/VPaMbm
