History

edit

LUXT was formed out of Sacramento, California in 1995 by multi-instrumentalists Anna Christine and Erie Loch. Their 1996 debut album was titled Jezebel Thirteen Three and released by the band's label Chalkhead Records.[7][8][9][10] In 1997 the band was signed to 21st Circuitry and released their second album Disrepair in March.[11][12][13] LUXT's third album Razing Eden followed a year later and was released by 21st Circuitry.[14][15][16][17] It was viewed as a marked improvement over their previous work because of its higher production value and greater focus on hooks and melodies.[18][19] In 2000 the band self-released another album for Chalkhead Records titled Chromasex Monkeydrive.[20]

The band's fifth album American Beast was released in 2003 by Blackliner Records.[21][22] In February of that year the album peaked on three CMJ's charts: "Loud Rock: College" at number nineteen, "Loud Rock: Crucial Spins" at number thirty-two and "CMJ Retail 100" at number ninety-one.[23][24] After ten years together LUXT disbanded on April 15, 2005.
