XYMOX biography

Postby mic » Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:39 am

www.unruhr.de published a new XYMOX biography (remember "Obsession" or "Imagination"). In contrast to the most XYMOX stories which are told from Ronny's viewpoint, contains this biography also statements and interviews from Pieter Nooten, Anka Wolbert, Bert Barten, Frank Weyzig and of course Ronny Moorings. Read about the forgotten Clan of XYMOX song "Move the glass", the truth about the songwriting, rise and fall of the major act XYMOX and about the mostly unknown Headclouds Tour in 1994.

part 1: Subsequent Pleasures (1983 - 1985):

Thanks. I'll check it out. I don't really know anything about this band, other than their early albums :-).

edit// I guess everyone on this site but me reads German.

Clan of Xymox, one of my favs. Saw them once in concert live for a special show in St. Paul, MN at a small club on Halloween, 1998. Fantastic show. Have most their videos, here is a more recent DVD release for sale with plenty of great material.
