Born in 1977, in the heady atmosphere of San Francisco’s postpunk golden age, Tuxedomoon released two seminal albums on The Residents' Ralph Records and, fleeing Reagan's America, moved to Europe in the early 80s. Their ability to crystallize a certain dark and romantic zeitgeist quickly turned them into one of the most influential bands around, yet their music transcended all genres and included impossibly wide parameters –rock, electronics, minimal music, classical, jazz, Gypsy music and pop were all simultaneously consumed and transmutated into a quasi-prescient blend. Although the band members are now living very far apart (Mexico, New York, Greece and Belgium), Tuxedomoon have regularly been getting together since 2003, touring as well as recording some of their best work to date.  More information here More information on Tuxedomoon here.
