X-Legged Sally (XLS) is a Belgian avant-garde rock/jazz-band founded in
1988 by composer Peter Vermeersch, and disbanded in 1997. They were one of
the first bands from Belgium to combine a set of very different musical
styles (jazz, rock, improvisation and classical), becoming a starting point

Biography Initially, X-Legged Sally was formed to compose and perform the
music Peter Vermeersch wrote for dance productions, such as Immes das Selbe
Gelogen (Always the Same Lies), released as a live cd in 1991. Vermeersch'
composing style was becoming too demanding for the constraints of sheet
music such as was used in his earlier band Maximalist!. From the beginning,
improvisation played an important role in XLS' songs. The first X-Legged
Sally concert took place in november 1988. Soon, XLS became a band in its
own right, although there would be cooperations with dance ensembles t
