Spring arrives. Baby birds are born. Lambs frolic. College dudes on Midwestern college campuses start wearing shorts even though it’s like 50 degrees out. Summer comes. The beach explodes in a riot of teens and hormones. Ice cream is born. It’s America’s birthday and all of her children celebrate by getting capital-W Wasted. Fall arrives. Election ads get all up in your television. Leaves turn (somewhere in America that is not stupid Los Angeles). X goes on tour. Such is the circle of life in America these days, and in the case of seminal L.A. punk band X’s annual cross-country migration, it is a beautiful thing.
X have been going strong for 35 hard-rockin’ years, and making regular jaunts across the US for the past several or so. And this year’s no different. John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom, and D.J. Bonebrake are kicking things off this November with an appearance at Austin’s Fun Fun Fun Fest, before heading out to Dallas and then descending upon the historic and whale-filled East Coast. X will be joined from New York on by the Reverend Horton Heat and Austin’s Not in the Face.
