UXA - Part 1 [Illusions of Grandeur LP 1980 + single]

UXA were from San Francisco and started in 1977. In 1979 they had two songs on the Tooth And Nail compilation LP and in 1980 their only LP was released on the Poshboy label. Initially the LP was released in a special limited pressing with 10 songs. When that sold well the LP was remixed and had two songs added. In 1981 they moved to New York City for a while before moving to Los angeles and splitting up. In 1982 De De Detroit formed the De De Detroit Band with some former members of UXA while still performing the odd UXA show. By 1986 De De Detroit was fronting a Metal band under her name. In 1990 the Poshboy label released a UXA single consisting of two old songs from the original band period. During the 1990s De De Detroit got together a new line up of UXA, played around and released some recordings. In 2003 the Miner's Benefit compilation CD that has two UXA tracks recorded live in March 1978 was released.
