The XX Traverse Europe And US This Autumn

Dream-indie Londoners The XX have just released their mightily impressive debut, simply titled XX (our review can be read HERE) and now, aside from playing a pretty damn awesome show at last weekends Reading and Leeds Festival, the band are officially set to take on the UK, Germany and US in the next coming months.

As of September 5th the foursome will being their tour with twenty-three days on the European road with dates alongside Florence And The Machine. They then meet up with Friendly Fires and continue their tour overseas in the US, rounding out their musical expedition to thirty-five days in all, finally finishing on December 5th in New York.

They're young, ridiculously promising in sound and if they happen to travel near you over the next couple of months please, do take our advice and at least try and check them out live.
