Wow. How have I not caught on to this stellar band until Wednesday, Nov. 21 at the Henry Fonda Theatre? The XX is such beautifully luscious music. A lil bittersweet and at times arousing. Opening up for Friendly Fires, it was pretty evident that at least half the crowd there was for The XX. Hailing from London, the three-piece has gained quite the mass of fans with the release of their debut album “XX,” released in August of 2009.

Talk about sensual, their music evokes those warm tingly feelings resting inside you, and at times makes you wish you were making sweet love all night. Female singer guitarist Romy Madley Croft has the sexiest and sweetest vocals, while her co-part/bassist Oliver Sim, is right up there with the vocals to match. The two creating the most enchanting live performance, you can’t help but be enamored with them.

Check out the live footage of “Infinity” below. This is song is my favorite and so damn sad yet sexy. Truly seven minutes of heaven.

Another crowd pleaser, “Crystalized.” You can totally hear how both Croft and Sim complement each other so well. Whether they’re in a duet or playing off each others vocals, it’s the ultimate goods.
