Sextile is an American post-punk band from Los Angeles, California. The band consists of founding members Brady Keehn (vocals, guitar, electronics) and Melissa Scaduto (drums, electronics, guitar). The band takes its name from the aspect of the same name in astrology.[1]
Sextile was formed in 2015 by Keehn and Scaduto, after the duo relocated from Brooklyn, New York to Los Angeles. They were soon joined by bassist Kenny Elkin and multi-instrumentalist Eddie Wuebben. Signing to Felte Records after supporting Ritual Howls at local gigs, the band released its debut album, A Thousand Hands in the same year.[2][3] Its follow-up, Albeit Living, was released in 2017;[1] by the time of its release, Elkin was replaced by bassist Cameron Michel.[4]
In 2018, Sextile released the single "Current Affair," with the band reduced to its two founding members for their EP, 3, later in the year.[2] Sextile entered a hiatus in 2019, with Keehn and Scaduto pursuing other projects, Panther Modern and S. Product, respectively.[5]
The band's former guitarist, Eddie Wuebben, died on 5 October 2019, at the age of 29.[6]
Sextile broke its hiatus with the March 2022 release of "Modern Weekend"/"Contortion", both having been written after Wuebben's death.[7] For summer 2022 tour dates in Mexico and the U.S., Cameron Michel rejoined the band on guitar and keyboards along with new drummer Lia Simone Braswell, formerly of Le Butcherettes and A Place to Bury Strangers.[8][9]
