Xero in 1982 moved to Sydney signing with the
M squared record label. This 12" recorded in
Brisbane was a groundbreaking and very
hip at the time record, it remains a classic.
Many Thanks to Basking Shark who provides us
with the fantastic cover scans and a nearly 9 min
Fast Forward Interview with Xero
(including tracks Girls, 24D Pelaco & Strangers,
Immigrants And Bandits)
As a special note John Willsteed created much of
the artwork on music releases (this included) and
hand-bills used to promote gigs, some of this was
exhibited as part of the Brisbane sound exhibition
earlier this year.
The lineup on the Ep was
Irena Luckus: vocals, Roland Jupiter 8 synth,
guitar
John-e Willsteed:vocals, keyboard, guitar, bass
Tony Childs: bass
Steven Pritchard: drums

Great Xiro posts these.
I caught them play a couple of times back years ago but I never picked up their recordings.
Cheers

I saw em play at the outpost or some little place in the valley some 20 years ago,but I was there to see the support, some friends knew them.
ciao bob
Wow. I had this a long time ago, but lost it somehow. Still have a rather crappy sounding copy on an old cassette. God bless blogspotters! This is great to finally have again. I saw an incarnation as Airborne Toxic Event supporting Einstuerzende Neubauten at The Metro (I think) in 1990. Used to be a close friend of Irena Luckus but lost touch in 1996. God only knows if she's still even alive...
Glad to keep the music alive Daniel
hello daniel and bob.
yes I am alive and still recording in Hobart of all places. grea place reminds me of brisbin in the 80s.
I now call myself Sub Xero. Its just me and the Juno Stage. Peter McPherson of Airborne Toxic Event is also here reading Poetry and occassionally mussicising.
regards Irena Xero
