So the back story on this conversation is that I did the interview for The Princess Anne Independent News in conjunction with the performance that X had scheduled for Elevation 27 in Virginia Beach. They were supposed to play there in late June, but due to one of the members needing unexpected surgery (from which he has since recovered, thankfully), they were forced to cancel their date. Unfortunately, when the band rolled out the rescheduled dates, there wasn’t one for Virginia Beach. D’oh…
Great interview Will. I was so bummed when they “postponed”... and now just sad when they didn’t re-schedule. When I DJ’d in bars, I mostly played in college and locals Beach kind of places. And I played alternative and “new wave”, not the pop and hip hop stuff. I was a fan of X from the beginning and loved their music. Each track seemed like an experience!
Also, I have a friend in LA who has been friends with Exene and the band forever. She helped me get into them back in the day. Thanks for posting because we probably weren’t gonna see it in PA Indy...
X is great and that was a great interview. Glad she mentioned Skating Polly -- I think X kind of gave them a boost early on, they are also great and just released a new album.
