Thanks!!! ;D 1. at the moment there are two, jamie and caralee. there have been about a dozen different people playing on xiu xiu songs over the course of the bands history. 2. right now its jamie and caralee. other prominent xiu xiu members include cory mcculloch, lauren andrews, and a couple others whose name i regretfully cannot remember 3. i dont know. 4. i dont believe there are any official 'music videos' but there was a video made as an art project for '20000 deaths' a while back 5. sort of. there is one but it's sort of in a vegetable state, on life support, existing, but just barely.

a couple clarifications/answers
1- i believe cory still counts as a member of the band... he doesn't enjoy touring, but he has been involved with every xiu xiu release, and now produces all of their records
2- yvonne chen was also a prominent member early on.. as for ages, jamie is in his early thirties... that's all i know there
3- there have been no proper xiu xiu single releases... there was one 7", which was a split between xiu xiu (the song "rose of sharon") and the group this song is a mess but so am i... there is also a cdep (chapel of the chimes), but all 5 songs were new at the time, and none of the songs were touted as singles... however, "i broke up", "sad pony guerilla girl" and "clowne towne" have all been available in mp3 formats on label websites, which is probably as close to "single" that xiu xiu gets... there are also a bunch of planned 7"'s, but they don't really sound like proper "singles", and their release schedule is hazy at best
4- apparently, yvonne made videos for a number of songs back when xiu xiu were new, but i've never seen releases of any of them... the only thing i know about them was that they were mostly puppets, which jamie (probably jokingly) claimed she had a sexual fetish for
5- there was a fansite, and it was developing quite nicely, but then there was an issue with the server, and the people involved are extremely busy at the moment, so the pieces of it are currently sitting on someone's harddrive... this forum is the primary place for xiu xiu discussion, and the yahoo group worst_vacation_ever has some songs available for download, but due to limits on yahoo (and the lack of requests to change them), the same files have been up there for awhile
hope between addicted's post and mine, we've answered your questions :-}
