The xx at the Merriam

The xx, the Mercury Prize-winning minimalist British indie-trance band fronted by Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim, play the Merriam Theater tonight. My interview with Madley-Croft from this year's SXSW festival is here.  A.D. Amorosi's preview of tonight's show, including openers Warpaint and Zola Jesus, from Friday's Inky, is here. The afterparty with The xx's Jamie Smith spinning is at the Ruby Lounge at Voyeur. Details on that here. "Islands" is below.
