“xx: A Sculpture Of The Album” By Saam Farahmand On Display This Weekend In NYC!!

By summer’s end The xx will have played Coachella, Sasquatch! Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo festivals in the US. They will have also played to thousands more people as a result of their extensive touring in the US (sold-out, headlining of course). Lest 2010 close without another chance to see them, The xx is now confirmed for a North American jaunt this fall which will mark the last chance to see the band play for quite a while. The run of dates will see the band making stops on the West Coast, the Midwest, Canada, and the Northeast before its conclusion in Texas, notably performing at this year's Austin City Limits festival. The tour kicks off September 22 at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium (yes, capacity 4k) and hits NYC’s United Palace (capacity 3200) on winds up at Austin's Zilker Park for Austin City Limits on October 9. Following this The xx will head back to the UK for a much-deserved break.  Full tour dates listed below.

Previous to the fall tour, The xx are excited to announce they will perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show will tape and air on August 4. The band will then make a quick stop in Chicago for a set at Lollapalooza (Friday, August 6) make their way to NYC for Central Park’s SummerStage just two days later (Sunday, August 8) before heading back to Europe for... more touring!

This coming Saturday, June 26, as part of the Creators Project, Milk Studios (450 West 15th Street) will host "xx: A Sculpture of the Album" by Saam Farahmand. The xx have teamed up with the acclaimed music video director Saam Farahmand for a unique audio-visual collaboration. In the piece, Saam creates a 3D physical interpretation of The xx’s debut xx. Utilizing film, light and sound via three specially created audio-visual units (each unit representing one member of the band with a mix of exclusively filmed footage and mixed sound), every visitor will have a totally unique experience of xx. This event will showcase the recorded album format in a whole new context. In an era where access to music is unlimited and often provides the background soundtrack to other experiences, this will be an opportunity to become totally immersed in the album in a whole new way. Admission is free.
