X is still a great live band. A quarter century after that cracked onto the LA scene, essentially defining punk in that town, they still rock the old way -- simple back beat, gut-kicking rockabilly guitar and vocals that ride the wave of music directly.
This pair of releases -- a CD and DVD of a no-frills, straight-up rock show in November of last year -- delivers the X goods.

X poses a series of dilemmas for rock history buffs or historians. It is a band that both defied and defined an era, and the mystery is that they didn't either (a) blow up the way Talking Heads did, transcending its origins, or (b) explode into nothingness so we could either forget about them or romanticize their absence. X was an original, authentic punk band in a glitzy, unpunky town.
Their punk rock credibility was undeniable -- strong, angry lyrics over a direct guitar attack that did not trade in bullshit. Then, when they went beyond punk, it was not to become more accessible in the manner of, say, Elvis Costello or David Byrne, but to embrace the older roots of their punk sound: rockabilly or folk.
Though their fronts were John Doe and Exene, the once-married singers, the image of the group for many fans was the pompadoured guitarist, Billy Zoom -- a guy who visually as well as musically bridged the musical divide of the band.
