HISTORY

In 2016, the three musicians, aged between 16 and 18, decided to organize a cover gig to celebrate the birthday of their music school teacher. After the first rehearsal, the boys realized that their common musical passion would keep them together for a long time.

Gigs at "Hellraiser" and "Werk2" in Leipzig followed. Their strengths quickly became apparent: they were able to develop their full potential when jamming and improvising.

In the beginning the band rehearsed in guitarist Andre's nursery. However, this caused a lot of trouble with the neighbors. The group looked for their own rehearsal space and found one in a small town near Leipzig. There they created a paradise for creatives - self-built and financed by gigs. In cooperation with "Musicelektronik Geithain", a full-fledged recording studio was created, which was also made available to other bands (e.g. "Solace" and "5Raumfenster"). The association "der.Proberaum e.V.", which organizes the annual "Purple Sounds" festival, was also founded here. After the construction projects were finished, the band could finally concentrate on making music again.

During this time the band went through several line-up changes under the name "LINE X OUT". They worked with different vocalists for their releases.

However, the core line-up quickly realized that this concept was not a permanent solution. In the spring of 2023, Alfred (drums), Benni (bass) and Andre (guitar/vocals) decided to continue the band as a trio. Under the name "LXO" they released their first single "Flower of Hate" and their first EP "Curtains Falling" in the same year.

In March 2024, LXO released their self-produced single "I Will Kill You" and finally returned to regular live performances. They played with fellow bands like "Kyning", "Red Mess" and "Trafficcarpet", as well as international artists like "High Desert Queen". A special highlight was their performance at the 31st "Gößnitz Open Air" alongside bands like "Dritte Wahl", "Eluveitie", "Universum 25" and many others.

Parallel to their concerts, the musicians decided to look for professional support for their upcoming single productions. They found what they were looking for at "Jadeturm Studio Leipzig", where they recorded their single "The Pain Remains", which was released in February, under the direction of Philip Hebestreit.
