XBXRX is an American
rock band formed in 1998 in
Mobile, Alabama, United States. Their early sound was
new wave-influenced, but is now more
improvised and deconstructed, moving away from using the
synthesizers that typify new wave. They are a collective with a revolving cast of musicians, including
Steve Touchstone,
Weasel Walter, and
Vice Cooler. In 2002,
Wesley Willis wrote a song dedicated to the band. For many years the collective resided in
Oakland,
California, where they finished working on their last full length record,
Wars, which was released in April 2007. In 2008 they were working on a record of
improv based pieces titled "Sound" and splits with
Mika Miko and
Japanther. As of 2010, they have regrouped, and relocated to
Los Angeles releasing new music and playing shows around
California with their new line up.
