History

The two musicians first met in Melbourne in 1990, when Xylouris was touring with his father, Antonis Xylouris,[1] and became friends. White first played with Xylouris' family band in Australia in 2009.[2] They began recording and performing regularly in public together in New York City in late 2013.[3] They released their first album, Goats, in 2014; it topped the Billboard World Music chart.[1]

They performed together at the Sydney Festival in 2015, in advance of a world tour,[4] and released their second album, Black Peak, on Bella Union, in 2016.

Their third album, Mother, was released early in 2018.

Each of their albums have been produced by Guy Picciotto (Fugazi).[5]
