Xixa

XIXA is an American rock band from Tucson, Arizona. Allmusic describes their music as "a form of blues indebted to the desert, mixed in with their Latin roots and a dose of gothic horror.".

History
Brian Lopez and Gabriel Sullivan founded a group called Chicha Dust which eventually became XIXA, releasing its first album, an eight-track live EP, in 2013. Both Lopez and Sullivan had previously played in the group Giant Sand. The group's name references chicha, a Peruvian style of music indebted to both cumbia and psychedelic rock.

Following the debut EP, Shift and Shadow, the group released a full-length album Bloodline in 2016, and toured the United States and Europe. A four-song EP called The Code arrived in 2019. Genesis, a second full-length, arrived in 2021.
