ping pong


You were right, Aragão.

The first track from X-Wife's forthcoming second album is available on their MySpace website. It's called 'ping pong' and this is a fantastic track that sounds like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs being re-fucked by LCD Soundsystem having a bad acid trip. João Vieira, Fernando Sousa and Rui Maia are the three members of the band (vocals/guitar, bass, synthesizers/drums/drum machine) refer to themselves as a "post punk electronic rock power trio" and are based in Porto.

They have been doing concerts everywhere (NYC, London) - in fact I missed their shows here in London last month because I didn't know they were doing them.
Their first album 'Feeding the machine' has been released in US where they had great reviews during their mini-NYC-tour.

'Taking control' taken from 'Feeding the machine' has been released on a UK compilation called Electronic Bible 2, by Shellshock. There is a limited edition 7" single from it with this track plus two others from other bands.

Both tracks are available on MySpace - xwiferocks.
