On this day, 5 July 1984, German band Xmal Deutschland played Cardiff’s New Ocean Club. Support was provided by Red Lorry-Yellow Lorry.

The band were promoting their second studio album Tocsin, described as a teutonic marriage of Siouxsie and the Banshees' inviting goth-pop and the majestic sonic spaces of the Cocteau Twins.

Founded in 1980 with a completely female line-up, they became chart hit makers both within, and outside, their native country.

The lead singer of the band was vocalist Anja Huwe. Xmal Deutschland's last album was released in 1989.
