The End Is Nigh: Seminal Punk Band X, Plays Chicagoland On Their Farewell Tour
X is not a band that should need an introduction. But at 39, I was one of the younger people in the audience when they played at FitzGerald’s in Berwyn, Illinois. So, I guess I shouldn’t make assumptions. Part of the first wave of LA punk, X was formed in 1977 by bassist and vocalist John Doe and Guitarist Billy Zoom. Doe’s girlfriend (and later wife and even later ex-wife), Exene Cervanka, joined as a vocalist and DJ Bonebreak became the drummer. When they played FitzGerald’s on July 14th, all four original members were still part of the band. Their music stood out from other LA punk bands at the time by having a distinct rockabilly flavor. By 1980 they’d signed to the independent label Slash Records and had some relative mainstream success, which turned the band into “flag barriers” for the LA punk scene in the early 80s.
