	Tuxedomoon - Biography - AOL Music
		Tuxedomoon was an avant-garde, electronic-oriented collective whose music ranged from new wave pop to jazz fusion to more experimental synthesizer soundscapes (usually including saxophone and violin), which were frequently married in concert to performance-art shows.
		Tuxedomoon was formed in San Francisco in 1977 by two electronic music students at San Francisco City College, Blaine L. Reininger (keyboards, violin) and Steven Brown (keyboards, other instruments).
		Tuxedomoon was also hired to score a Maurice Bejart ballet, the results of which were released in 1982 as Divine.

	TrouserPress.com :: Tuxedomoon
		Sidestepping the mistakes of many early synthesizer bands, Tuxmoon leavened their attack with sax and violin and were quick to integrate electronic percussion as a true substitute for real drums.
		Tuxedomoon continues to eschew the commercial success they likely could achieve; meanwhile, the members have undertaken many outside projects.
		The one-man show is stylistically similar to the off-center pop of the first two Tuxedomoon albums — lots of mild synth dissonance with found voices drifting around.

	The St. Petersburg Times - Arts + Features - tuxedomoon: has-beens dupe 'tolerant' russian audience
		Enjoying cult status with local trendy youths of the 1980s and early 1990s, Tuxedomoon was expected to be a sell-out show with crowds of ticketless fans storming the 400-seat Estrada Theater desperate for an exclusive glimpse of their idols.
		Based on the band's old material - Tuxedomoon has no new material, as it admitted at the press conference - the concert was a mix of the electronic and acoustic, live and prerecorded, rehearsed and improvised as was the trend of the artistically minded bands at the beginning of the 1980s.
		Disappointingly, Tuxedomoon seems to be the first of the once-popular 1980s "new wave" bands to follow the hastily reformed 1970s Western hard-rock bands who paved their wave to this country, notorious for a less sophisticated and more tolerant public.

		Tuxedomoon's ability to invent and surprise (the band once managed, incredibly, to transform Marvin Gaye's soul classic 'Heard It Through The Grapevine' into their very own song) famously led to an interview in Warhol's 'Interview' magazine and a label deal on Ralph - imprint of Bay Area avant-garde icons The Residents.
		It was during these years that Tuxedomoon increasingly used multimedia elements such as lighting, film and video to embellish their live shows.
		Tuxedomoon have always made music that reflects yet shrugs off musical influences as nonchalantly as a snake sheds its own skin or a duck discards water.

		Tuxedomoon was definitely the most European of all American bands.
		Tuxedomoon leave the States in 81 and will from then on live in exile in various European cities.
		After various collaborations by the band and its members to the Made To Measure collection, the relationship between Tuxedomoon and Crammed takes a new dimension in 85 with the creation of CramBoy, a sub-label exclusively devoted to releasing the band's more recent material (from "Holy Wars" on), as well as their back-catalogue.

		They have always made music that shrugs off musical influences as nonchalantly as a snake sheds its own skin or a duck discards water but the new album is something of an aberration, capturing the band in a rarely seen sentimental and reflective mood.
		Cabins could well be Tuxedomoon's first real pop album, if we can imagine that pop music has suddenly been allowed to follow a manifesto of creative freedom and write its own destiny instead of being subject to the forces of formula.

	Noise \| San Francisco Bay Guardian
		Between 1977 and 1988, Tuxedomoon released a small horde of singles, EPs, and full-lengths, which would be, by and large, forgettable if it weren't for their occasional moments of brilliance.
		Pioneering theatrical, electronic live performances of raw noise and song – held aloft by an arsenal of eclectic instrumentation and visceral imagery – the band's shows were challenged only by the mythos surrounding early Throbbing Gristle performances.
		Tuxedomoon (Time Release, 1979) This self-titled 12-inch EP on San Francisco label Time Release is an absolute must-have.

		Tuxedomoon came barreling out of the electronic music lab of San Francisco City College in the late '70s, and began making flirtatious, whimsical, provocative, idiosyncratic music.
		Tuxedomoon went on to sign to The Residents' Ralph Records in 1979, and released two seminal albums ("Half Mute" and "Desire") which soon got them overseas exposure.
		But the local atmosphere had unexpected effects on them, and drove them to record a series of "spontaneous compositions" (as Mingus would have put it) instead, which soon formed the basis of this side project, intended to be the soundtrack for a film the band is currently shooting with Greek visual artist George Kakanakis.

		Capaci di combinare irruenza punk e orchestrazioni d'avanguardia, ambientazioni oscure e accenni pop, i Tuxedomoon sono state una delle esperienze più originali della stagione targata "new wave".
		E non perché fossero portavoce di una ricetta musicale "popolare", quanto, piuttosto, perché contrassegnati da una maggiore "visibilità", dovuta soprattutto ai loro famosi spettacoli, in cui mescolavano cabaret espressionista, romanticismo di chiara ascendenza "mitteleuropea" e brandelli di futurismo umanoide.
		Sorpresi da tanto clamore, i Tuxedomoon decisero di trasferirsi proprio nel vecchio continente, installando il loro quartier generale ad Amsterdam, in Olanda.

		Fields of Honour dealt with a tourist couple encountering ghosts on the battlefields of the Great War on 1914-18, and marked the last Tuxedomoon recordings with Blaine Reininger before his departure.
		Tuxedomoon's ill-starred 'opera without words' was performed at the Polverigi Theatre Festival in July 1982, and included some of the group's best and most ambitious music.
		Although a proper soundtrack album was not released until 1990, these three orchestrations were recorded for BRT Radio by the Flemish Chamber Orchestra of Brussels in January 1983, conducted by Arie van Liesbeth and produced for radio by Wim Mertens.

		Almost 30 years since their formation, avantgardists Tuxedomoon are still proving their established talent with Hotel Bardo Soundtrack, 20 tracks intended to back an experimental movie being shot by Greek visual artist George Kakanakis.
		And judging by the downright eerie nature of the music, that movie is going to be pretty damn weird.
		Another audio trance, Hotel Bardo is a testament to the impressive work Tuxedomoon has been turning out for years.

		In 2006, to have a collective such as Tuxedomoon still active is a godsend of monumental proportion.
		As with many Tuxedomoon release, this one feels very cinematic but even more this time as the whole album feels driven by this single vision of Gysin's and William Burrough's cut-ups and their sharing of creativity.
		The result is an amazingly powerful instrumental album that includes some fake cut-up in order to bring forth a larger and more complex structures that follow scene after scene with a steadfast focus.

	Winston Tong - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music
		Winston Tong, probably best known as the singer for Tuxedomoon, is a multi-disciplinary performance artist from San Francisco, the son of Chinese parents exiled by the Communist revolution.
		Tong was absent from the first Tuxedomoon album, "Half Mute", but returned for "Desire" (released to great acclaim in 1981) as well as their first European tour.
		Tong's 'sophisticated disco'/'pop' album, "Theoretically Chinese", released in 1985, was "an album of peerless electronic dance pop, the sound expansive and expensive, and a million miles from the angst, night and fog for which Tuxedomoon were renowned." Tong had already donated "his best solo composition", 'In A Manner of Speaking' to Tuxedomoon.

		Experimental art rockers Tuxedomoon have been making their idiosyncratic, post-punk, rather unclassifiable music for over 27 years, with band co-founder Steven Brown documenting the process throughout.
		The group was originally formed in San Francisco, but relocated to Europe before spreading out all over the globe.
		Their path is traced here in grainy Super-8 and bright psychedelic footage that perfectly complement the magical music.

		Bardo Hotel Soundtrack is Tuxedomoon's first locally recorded disc since the band relocated to Europe more than 25 years ago.
		This fact is noteworthy because the group, which began life opening for Devo and recording for the Residents' Ralph Records, was one of the Bay Area's seminal new-wave outfits.
		But unlike most of this art school collective's original San Fran contemporaries, Tuxedomoon's wine 'n' cheese approach to sonic experimentation —; a fusion of synth pop, modern theater, sound collage, and horn-based free improv — has always felt just a bit too highbrow for my debased sensibilities.

		The real drum part kicked in after a few moments, setting off a rolling, churning landscape for the bleaty, damaged synth parts that followed.
		The synth melody should’ve alerted me to the fact that I was listening to a 12″ of Tuxedomoon’s “No Tears” being accidentally played at the wrong speed, but it wasn’t until the warped, mutated vocals came in that I recognized not only what the song was, but the DJ’s “error”.
		After a few moments of when the vocal part came in, the DJ faded the track down, and went with whatever song they had also at the ready — and I was furious!
