“X emerged from the L.A. punk scene as the most critically lauded American band of the early ’80s … for all the speed and thrust of their playing, X claims roots in rockabilly and old-time country music, which echoes in the vocal harmonies of John Doe and Exene.” – Rolling Stone
Now in their 40th year, X has been called “L.A.’s least likely iconic band.”
– L.A. Weekly
In recognition of the importance of X to Los Angeles, City Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell has declared October 11 “X Day,” see today’s post on LAist.com.
On October 13, the Grammy Museum opens the exhibition “X: 40 Years of Punk in Los Angeles” Info at www.grammymuseum.org
Exene and John Doe will present their music in an acoustic set. The event features a set by each of the three bands, food trucks, and beer by Brouwerij West.
Proceeds from the concert will help enable Palos Verdes Art Center to expand art education programs for neighboring communities of the Port of Los Angeles.
