Next came the night's most visually accompolished performance, the multi-media set by
Xero-G. They play a high energy anime electro that can either feature utopian or
apocalyptic lyrics. Female-male trade off vocals and sounds in a way similar to
Lucia and Sasha K of KMFDM...

There is an old saying that says you know you're getting old when
policeman start looking young. This also seems to apply to synthpop
bands & never more so than in the case of Seth Questor & Victoria
Angell, the two young American whippersnappers who have produced

This is a cool new album put out
on Ninthwave Records which features great electronic programing
which goes from old-school Kraftwerk moments to very modern
futurepop tracks. Xero G has a cool female lead vocalist who
sounds a lot like the gal that used to sing on Xymox's
albums "Twist of Shadows" and "Phoenix". It's a great combination!
I think Xero G will turn out to be one of the US release surprises
of the year.

Xero/G is a Male/Female duo with female vocals (so rare these days!) and a very
cool darkwave/ebm-ish sound. Their debut album features plenty of cool tunes plus
a cover of The Who' s Baba O'Reiley!

New York based Xero/G has been around for a while, but their first official
release is coming up soon. The vocals have migrated to all-female vocals,
and the music has gained a much poppier sound with their recent material.
"Falling Into Dreams" is a catchy track which really pushes this band fully
into the synthpop genre. If the rest of the upcoming CD is like this track,
we should be looking forward to their upcoming release
