The fliers are posted all over town and the buzz is out. The late-'70s punk rock L.A.-based scene setters X are coming back to Atlanta with the original lineup of John Doe (guitar/vocals), Exene Cervenka (vocals), Billy Zoom (guitar), and D.J. Bonebrake (drums) to tear up the stage together again. Continue reading.
For this go around, the group has been taking requests for songs from their fans via its website.
The group's enigmatic female vocalist and bass player Cervenka was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, but according to the band's publicist Melissa Dragich-Cordero she is "doing well so far and hopes that continues. For now, all is status quo including her forthcoming solo album this fall."
But if ever there was a time to see X play live it would be now.
X Plays the Variety Playhouse this Sat., June 13. $25. 8:30 p.m.
