The xx auctioning two lightboxes for charity
The xx — the vaguely goth British band of 20 year-olds writing sparse, furtive pop music — has exploded in the past year. Now, they’re cashing in on success (for Amnesty International, that is) by auctioning off one of their minimalist shtick: one of the X lightboxes used in the band’s live set.
In the past year The xx have toured the US and the world in support of their debut album, xx, for which they recently won the esteemed Mercury Prize. Joining the trio on stage at many of these shows were two large, black lightboxes each emblazoned with a simple and large “X.”
You can bid on the boxes here (or drop 5 G’s on them, if you’re so inclined.)
