XL Capris

Produced in Sydney, Australia, by the end of 1978, the XL Capris soon obtained a healthy pursuing over the punk/alternative circuit if they formed their very own Axle Information and released two singles and an album in 1980. The music on the record had been mainly compiled by guitarist Tim Gooding, offering basic instrumentation, sparse creation as well as the plaintive vocals of Johanna Piggott (bass), performing lyrics which were extremely Sydney-orientated. Signing up for Julie Anderson (drums), Dragon guitarist Todd Hunter boosted the line-up another record was documented. Weeds highlighted many Piggott/Hunter compositions, finding a fuller, even more polished audio. The band utilized another drummer, Michael Farmer – a unique move that didn’t enhance the materials, as well as the band split up quickly afterwards by the end of 1981. XL Capris had been one among the most primary and interesting rings to emerge from the punk period, but they didn’t achieve mainstream achievement. Hunter returned towards the re-formed Dragon and Piggott documented three albums beneath the name Scribble before selecting acclaim being a songwriter for Dragon. Primary drummer Julie Anderson wedded the vocalist from UK music group the Vapours.
