Xavier Floyd Firebird

“If my sexuality was as eclectic as my taste in music and my strange mix of influence was my dream date I think I would be a fairly mixed up and suicidal individual. luckily I am not a real person at all and neither male nor female. I will die smiling like Mona Lisa. You will never know if I meant it but I will always look you straight in the eye. Xavier Floyd Firebird.”



Xavier Floyd Firebird released their debut single “boss man, you scare me” in January 2005 with a series of excellent reviews as well as plays on Zane Lowe (winning the fresh meat section) and XFM, performing live for the latter at their launch in Manchester. After two successful tours and a second single ready to go, the band were forced into the unfortunate position of having to find a new drummer. With no joy in the UK brothers Danny and Paul Floyd decided to re-camp to Paris for a few months in order to see what was available out there. A chance meeting with Canadian born Metro, ex of Ozric Tentacles, who just happened to be in France in order to submit a new visa application for the UK, led to the current line up being finally completed.



Danny and Paul grew up first in Zambia and then New Zealand, before coming to the UK as teenagers and Metro is from Canada and grew up in Minneapolis, USA
