X Coming to Napa with their X-clusive Acoustic Tour...July 26th at City Winery

L.A.’s most famous punk rock leaders, X, announce an exclusive west coast acoustic trek culminating with a headlining spot on the Portland, OR based “Pickathon Festival” on August 2nd & 3rd.  This marks the first time all four original members (Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom and DJ Bonebrake)have left the electric guitars behind and will play all original X material acoustically.

 The L.A. punk scene in the late 70s saw its share of greatness, but few acts were as talented as the now world-class, live, rock & roll band X. Their 2008 “13-31” Tour across the U.S. was truly something special, celebrating the band’s 31st anniversary. 2009 shaped up to be just as amazing for the veteran rockers, with appearances at SXSW and Coachella Festivals, along with their own “X – TRL” Tour, where fans to helped select each night’s set list.  In 2011, X celebrated the 31st anniversary of the legendary album, Los Angeles, one that not only defined their career, but an entire musical era as well. The band also celebrated the re-release of their landmark award winning rock-umentary, X: The Unheard Music.  In August of last year, X performed as part of part of the Pershing Square live summer concert series.  The show was hugely successful with crowd estimates topping 7,500, easily making it the most popular show the series has ever produced!
