The Summer Of X

But before singer Exene Cervenka, vocalist/bassist John Doe, guitarist Billy Zoom and drummer DJ Bonebrake put on their long-range travelin’ shoes, X will bring its four-album shows to two venues in Southern California.  May 22 has the band at San Diego’s Observatory North Park performing Los Angeles and Wild Gift from start-to-finish.  LPs Under The Big Black Sun and More Fun In The New World will get the same treatment the following night at the venue.

The four-album show continues in July at Santa Ana’s Observatory.  Los Angeles gets the spotlight July 9, followed by Wild Gift July 10; Under The Big Black Sun July 11 and More Fun In The New World July 12.
