Both bands that i'm comparing my band (centre) too have a mixed sex group. The XX (top) have both a male and a female on vocals but there is also other members who are on instruments and technical sides. This is similar to Passonfontaine as they will apeal to both sexes equally. It's also good to have the variation as each gender brings differents qualitys and sounds of voice. Their style in music is similar to that of my band showing that they'll have similar audiences.
The photograph style is very similar with all 3 photos, all midshot on a blank background then idited to give an 'indie' feel. The bands styles are very different, The ting tings don't seem to be that fashionable, they're miss matched and would not appeal to the DRONE magazine audience. The XX look stylish but gothic. Although the music is similar to Passonfrontaine's (centre) their style is different, however although gothic they still have the alternative edge, thus appealing to the DRONE mgazine audience.
The Ting Tings (bottom) consist of just one male and one female which is the same as mine, this is quite unusual to find as they appeal to both audiences equally. However although the members sex is the same they're genre is more pop could be seen as more girly than Passonfrontaine. The audiences would be different down to the differences in genre and style. I liked the idea of a mixed sex band as it goes against the stereotype 'Girlbands' and 'Boybands'.
