XVECTORS called it quits in 2010, so this info is posthumous.
XVECTORS are renowned for their incendiary live shows. They played at one of Franz Ferdinand’s legendary Chateau happenings back in the day, supported the Klaxons on their European tour, played a massive festival in Berlin alongside Peaches and the inaugural Connect Festival. Debut single Movies is an undisputed killer, while their cover of Jamie Principle & Frankie Knuckles’ Chicago house classic Your Love (also a UK chart smash in the late Eighties for The Source featuring Candi Staton) was a cult hit – re-released in late 2006 via the Now Is The Winter Of Our Discotheque EP on Twitch and Wilkes equally cult Optimo label, OSCARR, and both The Guardian’s record of the week and one of Mixmag’s Top 100 Releases Of The Year. Due to release debut album this year with the legendary Blast First (petite) label (a sub-division of the even more legendary Mute Records), the band join the awe-inspiring ranks of Sonic Youth, Depeche Mode, Moby, Goldfrapp, Nick Cave, Yazoo, Dinosaur Jnr, Plastikman/Richie Hawtin, Buzzcocks, Cabaret Voltaire, Maps, Suicide, The Slits, Liars and Pan Sonic, among many others.
