The very first Tuxedomoon full-length album came of in 1980 on The Residents' label Ralph Records. It included the single, What Use? It remains a classic to this day, with its drum machines, organ, sax, bass and strong atmospheres. It was described as impresionist and futuristic chamber music.

The San Francisco experimental post punk/new wave band continues to record and perform.
Their latest release was in 2007. Blaine Reininger, Peter Principle and Steven Brown have been constants.
