Description:

Formed in 1973 by Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding, Terry Chambers, and Barry Andrews, XTC signed with Virgin Records in 1977 and became popular for their unique pop style in the New Wave movement of the time. In 1979, Dave Gregory joined the group following the departure of Barry Andrews, and in 1982 Terry Chambers left the group, leaving XTC as a three-piece. 1986's "Skylarking," produced by Todd Rundgren, was an international hit. However, the band is now virtually inactive, with only Andy Partridge remaining. Influenced by The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and psychedelic rock, XTC's sound is full of originality and has greatly influenced Japanese musicians.The album "Black Sea" released in September 1980 ranked No.41 on the U.S. album chart in 1981, and the band embarked on an encore tour of 17 shows from April to May of the same year.
