Biography
XTC were a New Wave / pop band from Swindon, England, active between 1976 and 2005. The band enjoyed some chart success, including the UK and Canadian hits "Making Plans for Nigel" (1979) and "Senses Working Overtime" (1982), but are perhaps even better known for their long-standing critical (rather than commercial) success.

Wonderful band, reminds of my HSC-era school days/daze
XTC were/(are?) one of the most remarkable bands to come out of
England since the late 70's. After astonishing songs like 'Senses Working Overtime', Andy Partridge had a breakdown on stage in 1982 and the band has seldom if ever played concerts since. Instead they followed their ancestors The Beatles, and churned out a successun of jaw-dropping studio LP's, including 1986's 'Skylarking', 'Nonsuch' from 1992 (with ex Fairport Convention man Dave Mattacks on skins), the hilarious and wonderous 'Dukes of Strasophere' parodies of the mid 80's, and later 'Apple Venus' and 'Wasp Star from the late 90's.
Andy Partridge is the Brian Wilson of British rock. But with longer legs, a better grip and fewer calories. If that makes sense.
Loved it. Reminded me of loads about Sydney when I first got here. Quality.
