Their first album peaked at 44 and the second Couples has just entered the chart at a dispiriting 48.
XX Teens played a set of mildly diverting avant-rock and, although the crowd watched politely and bestowed smatterings of applause between songs, there was no real engagement between band and audience.
At the end of February they played a trio of dates at pocket-sized northern clubs and earlier this month they graced the stage at the hipster paradise of London disco Durrr.
Despite its anti-romantic sentiments the bounce-along pop song is easily the standout track amongst a fairly tepid indie-by-numbers set from the Sheffield quintet.
From The Horrors' 19th-century trench-coat mafia to Klaxons' flourescent astro-unicorn utopias, everyone's been sacking off realism for their own brand of imaginary cool.
