XTC (band)
band
XTC is een newwave-popgroep uit Swindon (Engeland). De naam van de band werd in 1976 gekozen, nadat de twee bandleden Andy Partridge (gitaar & zang) en Colin Moulding al vanaf 1972 samen in verschillende bands hadden gespeeld.

Geschiedenis bewerken
XTC had in Nederland een paar kleine hits met de nummers Making plans for Nigel (1979) en Senses working overtime (1982). Eind 2006 werd het officieuze eind van XTC door Partridge aangekondigd, hoewel de kans nog steeds bestaat dat Partridge en Moulding blijven samenwerken, maar niet per se als XTC.
Keyboard-speler Barry Andrews is de vader van Finn Andrews, zanger van The Veils.
