Best X Band


To celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary, Mary and I enjoyed a quiet, romantic evening at the Gypsy Tea Room, with musical accompaniment provided by Henry Rollins and his band -- and the Best Band That Starts With The Letter X:

X.

Never have I been more sure of a Rockology selection than I was last nite as the original X foursome raced through an energetic set of LA punk classics like Los Angeles, The World's A Mess, and Johnny Hit and Run Paulene. And it was a particularly tender moment when I held my bride close during Nausea, to keep her from being impaled by the frenetic mohawked dancer in our midst.

The band and their blistering anthems have aged exceptionally well.

To all Funegrans, I highly recommend this X-ploration.

CRACKED Magazine Re-Launches
