- XX_Teens abstract "XX Teens were a five piece band originally formed of graduates from the Byam Shaw School of Art in North London. They began performing as Xerox Teens but with a growing fan base, an eponymous club night and airplay from the likes of Zane Lowe, Marc Riley, Jon Kennedy and Steve Lamacq the band came to the attention of the Xerox Corporation. After some wrangling they were persuaded to change their name to XX Teens, though settling in a position to fund their first collaboration with Sheffield filmmaker Simon Green.In total they made four videos with Green, a creative relationship that has continued with Anthony Silvester penning the soundtrack to the 2012 short film Albatross: A Love Story. Videos for their songs were also created by the artist Juliet Blightman and BBC New Music Shorts competition winner Kirk Hendry.The band's live shows would feature contemporary dancers, a uniformed brass section and special guests. Such performances, combined with their distinctive videos and comically recalcitrant radio and press interviews, were hallmarks of the band's early years and gained them a following in the art world. They collaborated with Cerith Wyn Evans to mark Modern Art Oxford's 40th anniversary, were photographed by Hedi Slimane and performed for Martin Creed at Tate Britain. Other notable performances include the Royal Festival Hall for Jarvis Cocker's Meltdown and a landmark show at Studio Voltaire where they performed with dancing dogs. The show featured Richard Curtis and his famous dog dancing display team dancing to a special set on the evening of a lunar eclipse. It was broadcast on Resonance 104.4 FM and raised a significant sum towards the upkeep of the station.In 2007 they signed to Mute Records and re-released underground hit 'Darlin' on limited edition 12" vinyl. The single featured remixes by Andrew Weatherall and Ben Trucker and was listed as one of NME's Tracks of the Year. They recorded the album Welcome to Goon Island at Rockfield Studios in Wales. Silvester and singer Rich Cash then re-recorded the LP at producer Ross Orton's studio in Sheffield. The same year saw a line-up change with bassist Rich Nuvo and drummer Seb Craig leaving to be replaced by Jorgen Raa and Macks Faulkron.Following a succession of singles, including 'How to Reduce the Chances of Being a Terror Victim', a satirical recital of Fox News' advice for U.S. citizens, and 'The Way We Were', used to soundtrack an advert for Harley Davidson; the album was eventually released in June 2008 to mixed reviews. A spoken word coda from political activist Brian Haw concludes the LP with an explanation of the motives behind his long-running peace campaign in Parliament Square.The band toured with The Kills, Frank Black and The Horrors, amongst others. They appeared on the front cover of Artrocker magazine in May 2007 and again in August 2008. Cerith Wyn Evans, Giles Round, Richard Birkett and Adam Latham designed four separate sleeves for the bands first single, the artwork and design for all subsequent releases was by Adam Latham. Silvester and Cash continue to collaborate but have moved on to new projects; Silvester forming Technology and Teamwork with XX Teens drummer Sarah Jones and Cash forming The Skinjobs with artist Adam Latham.".
