First coming together in 1972, the core duo of Andy Partridge (guitars and vocals) and Colin Moulding (bass and vocals) went through many band names (including Helium Kidz and Star Park) over the next five years. As the Helium Kidz, they were featured in an article in the New Music Express as an up and coming band from Swindon. Drawing influence from the New York Dolls and the emerging New York punk scene, they played glam rock with homemade costumes and slowly built up a following. Drummer Terry Chambers joined in 1973, keyboard player Barry Andrews followed in 1976 and the band finally settled on XTC as their name. By this time, the punk rock movement was in full swing and XTC had found their style: a unique brand of hyperactive Pop mixed with Funk, Punk, Ska, Reggae, Baroque Pop and Art Rock.
