XIXA is an American rock band from Tucson, Arizona. AllMusic describes their music as "a form of blues indebted to the desert, mixed in with their Latin roots and a dose of gothic horror". [1]

History

Brian Lopez and Gabriel Sullivan founded a group called Chicha Dust, which eventually became XIXA, releasing its first album, an eight-track live EP, in 2013. [2] Both Lopez and Sullivan had previously played in the group Giant Sand. The group's name references chicha , a Peruvian style of music indebted to both cumbia and psychedelic rock. [3]

Following the debut EP, Shift and Shadow, the group released a full-length album, Bloodline, in 2016, and toured the United States and Europe. [4] A four-song EP called The Code arrived in 2019. [5] Genesis, a second full-length, arrived in 2021. [6]
