Xiu Xiu
Xiu Xiu (pronounced /ˈʃuːʃuː/ shoe-shoe) is an experimental art rock band originally from San Jose, California. The band is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Jamie Stewart, who has been its only constant member since its inception. His current bandmates are Angela Seo and percussionist Ches Smith. (Refer to sidebar for past band members and work) The band’s name is taken from the 1998 Chinese film Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl.
Xiu Xiu’s music draws heavily from several disparate genres including post-punk, 80′s synth pop, noise, ambient, techno, asian percussive music, modern classical, and folk. Musically, the band will often blend cacophonous percussion and experimental structures with lush hooks and diverging lyrical styles. More …

Poe Poe Lyrics
take your parents credit cards
buy a bunch of crap that you don’t need
and will never ever use
your mom and dad are out of town
and they trust you implicitly
a rubber chicken for the mail man
is on your horizon
and there is nothing
that i’d rather do
your sugar daddy’s turning 50
he shops for you indiscreetly
a fashion show
in his penthouse and black silk kimono
step out into your short shorts
put out as often as you need to
to make his summer #1
