Wow. A true labour of love.Great keys, everything actually, these are incredibly complex pop songs. Dave Gregory strings indeed!
man, that was the closest i’ve ever seen anyone come close to xtc! wait! that was the only time! 5 stars guys, keep it up
Jeez, these guys sound really good. And yeah, the audience is just sitting there wondering what the hell is going on. Ah, well. XTC is one of the best bands that wins me a blank stare from friends when I bring them up. (“You know, ‘Mayor of Simpleton’? Hello?”)
if I was there, I would have FREAKED OUT with JOY.. nice job! I must say, Texas would have been my last guess.. well, Utah, then Texas.
great job! I never thought anyone could do an XTC cover band let alone Dukes of Stratosphere. Not exactly a get up and dance type of music but definitely worth sitting and watching.
Not bad at all. Nobody is going to be able to imitate Andy Partridge’s voice successfully. Jeez, I’ve tried and it leaves me hoarse and breathless, the way his voice soars and runs. But the sound is pretty good overall.
i think they lost half their audience at “Dukes of Simpleton”… but that’s ok… that half doesn’t count… nicely done!!
the rendition of the vocals unfortunatelty lack the character and passion of the original… but really good still, kudos musicos
