THE XX

The XX Biography
The xx are a band from south west London, England, formed in 2005. Consisting of four 20-year-olds, they met at Elliott School, notable for alumni including Hot Chip, Burial and Four Tet. They were placed at number 6 in the 2009 NME The Future 50 list. Their debut album, xx, was released on Young Turks Records on 17 August 2009.

Google has launched its first television advertising campaign across a range of US networks.

The company's TV adverts are an attempt to draw the public's attention to Chrome, the web browser that it launched last year in an attempt to compete with Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

The company has famously avoided traditional marketing in the past – indeed, its website boasts that it has become "one of the world's best known brands almost entirely through word of mouth".
