X (still) marks the spot

Whatever misgivings you might still have about a Rilen-less X treading the boards, consider putting them aside and having a gander at the re-formed band when they strut their stuff in Melbourne and Sydney. The occasion will be the re-launch of "At Home With You", shortly to be re-packaged (with bonus live disc) by Aztec Music.

May 3 at Ding Dong (Melbourne) and May 17 and 19 (the Excelsior Hotel, Surry Hills, Sydney) are the dates. Most of what you need to know is on the poster above (click on i t to read it), except for the fact that Sydney punters can buy their tix from the Excelsior this week (probably from Wednesday.) Do not wait. The two nights will sell out fast.

The other thing you need to know if there's a distinct possibility that this line-up (Steve Lucas-Cathy Green-Kim Volkman) will be in a studio soon, recording a host of old previously unrecorded X gems.

Return of X (2)

Here's Steve Lucas on the eve of the first X gig in Sydney last week, talking about the band's heyday at places like the Civic, the Unicorn and the Astra. Another vid from Cazzam.

Speaking of X, the I-94 Bar's review of the two-night Sando stand is live here and the news is the band (Lucas-Green-Volkman) will return to Sydney in May. Jot down May 17 and 19 at the Excelsior in Surry Hills and check back here for news of when pre-sale tickets are available 'cos it will sell out.
