The XX Top Irish Indie Chart

Boost of Mercury Prize win easy to see.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 10 Sep 2010

The xx have topped the Irish Indie Chart in the same week that saw them pick up the Mercury Music Prize.

The trio saw their self-titled debut move up 8 places from #9.

They replace Fight Like Apes whose The Body of Christ and Legs of Tina Turner LP slips to #2, just ahead of Becoming a Jackal which remains at #3 for Villagers.

There are three new entrants in the Top 20 this week with The Charlatans the highest placed at #11.

The XX Tripod, Dublin

Low-key from the glum expressions to the near matching get-ups (they’re head-to-toe in black, naturally), The XX arrive on stage at the Tripod to a rowdy welcome. Or perhaps it just seems that way because the happily awkward trio are the least rowdy outfit this joint’s ever seen.

Notes are botched here and there but it’s perfectly befitting of the uncomfortable dynamic.
