SUMMARY:Xiu Xiu: Eraserhead
LOCATION:Gray Area\, 2665 Mission St\, San Francisco\, CA 94110
DESCRIPTION:Xiu Xiu was born on a dance floor\, arriving alone at the club 
 and going home alone from the club. That night the first Xiu Xiu song\, Je
 nnifer Lopez\, was recorded. Its line\, “is it tough to watch\, Friday a
 fter Friday!?\,” began what Xiu Xiu was going to try to say. The songs w
 ould always be about specific events in the personal lives of the band\, t
 he people close to them\, and about the social and economic politics that 
 effect and deform subjugated life from everywhere in this wobbling\, wreck
  of a solar system. Over the course of 15 7"s\, five EPs\, six collaborati
 on albums and ten full lengths Xiu Xiu has never shied away from any topic
  that is honest and meaningful to them. Their songs are about gender dysph
 oria\, suicide\, loneliness\, going insane\, child soldiers\, the tsunami 
 in Indonesia\, hideous sex\, the Sanrio character Pandapple\, abortion pol
 itics\, incest\, cats\, queer life\, being raped by the police and the ind
 ividual responsibility of U.S. military personnel for the families they mu
 rder. Somehow within all of this\, cuteness attempts to find a way to embr
 ace death and horrible emotion. The music is drawn from British post punk 
 and synth pop\, modern Western classical\, noise and experimental musics\,
  Asian percussion musics\, American folk\, torch singers\, house\, techno 
 and 1950s rock n roll. Starting in isolation in San Jose\, California in 2
 002\, Xiu Xiu has relentlessly toured all over the world since. San Jose i
 s a rotten place to be\, so relentless touring was a way to get AWAY! Xiu 
 Xiu have been called “self flagellating”\, “harsh”\, “brutal”\
 , “shocking” and “perverse” but also “genius”\, “brilliant
 ”\, “unique”\, “imaginative” and “luminous.” The band is Ang
 ela Seo and Jamie Stewart.\n\nhttps://grayarea.org/event/eraserhead-xiu-xi
