Phideaux Xavier is a rock and roll singer. His first and earliest
influence was Alice Cooper (well, maybe John Lennon before that...).
Psychedelic outrageous music is what he
grew up craving and seeking.
Now, many years later, Phideaux makes albums that harken back to the
"anything-goes" approach of the late '60s/early '70s -- music that
requires involvment from the listener.
Phideaux, who grew up outside of NYC, has
performed and written music since early childhood
and has fronted or appeared in various bands
throughout the years (Mirkwood,
Sally Dick & Jane, The SunMachine,
and Satryicon - a postpunk rock
band where he played bass). He
has also produced albums for
other artists (R. Weis - Mystery of
the Egg, a particular favourite).
Since 1996, Phideaux has worked
with drummer Rich Hutchins to create
heavy melodic progressive rock recordings.
Separated by a continent (Rich is in NYC, Phi is L.A.),
they rehearse and record in spurts, and usually
communicate by email and telepathy. Many of the
musicians who visit Phideaux's musical universe are
people he grew up with and with whom he has performed
in other bands along the way.
Phideaux hopes to reach people through his recordings
and to make serious headphone albums.
