The X and Y Full Description

The X & Y are an electro-pop, groovecore funtime duo from the South West of England. Using keyboard, guitar, live percussion, synth, samplers, vocoder, groovebox and loopers, Alex Bayross (Alex & the Altar) and Carey Andrews (Lord Irving) combine male and female vocals to fulfill the axes of music: rhythm and melody - The X & the Y!

Carey brings her training in classical singing and piano to inform the rich tapestry of harmony and melody while Alex uses The Altar to produce energetic tracks live on the spot.

Packed with nostalgia tunes, dance music, singalongs, requests, originals, obscure meme music, soundtracks and theme tunes, it can get a bit weird in the right room. Classic 70s, cheesy 80s, bangin 90s, naughty 00s right up to current hits, dancing is compulsory and a good time MUST be had by all.

Best wedding band we've seen!
We couldn't have had a better time with The X and Y performing our wedding music! They played our first dance beautifully as an acoustic, romantic love song, and put their own flare on it as well. Careys vocals were amazing and just what we wanted for a classy feel, whilst Alex's energy was completely infectious, with comedy wrapped up in the sets as well. This band was truly musically talented as well as being very entertaining.

Beautiful ceremony music
Cez was so brilliant - such a talented performer, musician and singer! A few guests of our party asked for her contact details and repeatedly made a point to tell me how great she was! She played all the artists we said we liked which made us so happy. Worth every penny, couldn’t recommend more highly.
