The four original members of LA’s finest, X, return to Portland and the Crystal Ballroom for a fundraising gig, with Portland’s The Delines, fresh off a tour of the UK and Europe in support of their latest album, Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom. This special performance is a fundraising event for two local music-oriented non-profits: The Jeremy Wilson Foundation and The Oregon Music Hall of Fame.
Formed in 1977, X quickly established themselves as one of the best bands in the first wave of LA’s flourishing punk scene; becoming legendary leaders of a punk generation. Featuring vocalist Exene Cervenka, vocalist/bassist John Doe, guitarist Billy Zoom, and drummer DJBonebrake, their debut 45 was released on the seminal Dangerhouse label in 1978, followed by seven studio albums released from 1980-1993. Over the years, the band has released several critically acclaimed albums, topped the musical charts with regularity and performed their iconic hits on top television shows such as Letterman and American Bandstand. X’s first two studio albums, Los Angeles and Wild Gift are ranked by Rolling Stone among the top 500greatest albums of all time. The band continues to tour with the original line-up fully intact. In 2017, the band celebrated their 40th year anniversary in music with a Grammy Museum exhibit opening, a Proclamation from the City of Los Angeles and being honored at a Los AngelesDodgers game where Exene threw out the first pitch and John Doe sang the National Anthem. In 2020, X celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Los Angeles.

We are long time fans and could really use a live show of their music to reinvigorate our energy, to counteract the burnout we are feeling.
Xcuse me, I would love this!!
X are always a good time. I hope they never stop playing shows.
I would love to see these Punk Rock legends live in concert. Their “Los Angeles” LP is one of my all time favorites. Fingers crossed that I win a pair of tickets.
The world’s a mess 🌎, it’s in my kiss! 💋
To see a band that has been around as long they have and have all original members,no lie punk will never die
Been a fan for so long! Mom and my favorite band (we are only 18 years apart) would definitely take my mom

Great lineup and fundraiser!
Saw X last year, and they’re still badass! I also am a fan of The Delines or any band Willy Vlautin is in!
Just one of the best bands EVER!
This would be a good show. Love punk.
I just finished More Fun in the New World by John Doe and Tom DeSavia.
X marks the spot, or I’d love to spot X here, or I’ll make my X on the dotted line, or my Xs would love to catch X. It would be Xtra special to see this Xtremely iconic band.
