First show in South America…ever – courtesy of Pearl Jam. Surreal. People are great and Billy’s pics are just a little different than the Los Angeles Tour.
And load-in is a little more intense. HA!
We’d send you a postcard but …Exene only brought so many. Maybe some of our tourist pics instead.. ?
Home soon. Love ~X~ (aka The X Band in SA)
PS- Here’s a bit of what they’re saying about X (at least it’s what google says it says.)
“Punk rock de X é bem recebido pelos fãs de Pearl Jam em SP. Betting on a no-frills punk rock, Californians warmed the audience with their songs fast and angry. Little known by the Brazilian public, the group was personally invited to open the South American tour of Pearl Jam. Formed in 1977 in Los Angeles by John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom and D. J. Bonebrake, the quartet is one of the leading bands of the scene in California still active, being idolized by none other than Eddie Vedder.” - musica.terra.com.br
Hi there!
I was at Porto Alegre concert (11-11-11) and i’d just like to say that you are AWESOME! Me, my lovely wife and a couple of dear friends traveled more than 1500 miles (from Brasília) to see Pearl Jam live. You were a really grateful surprise when we got inside “Zequinha” stadium.
Your music is very cool and our feeling was that all of you were enjoying and having a lot of fun playing for us. Just like us on that friday (and saturday and sunday on “Gramado”).
You won a lot of fans and friends down here! Don’t forget us and please come back anytime you want! (if you come to Brasília, please tell us).
Thank you for coming down here. This is André Folloni from Curitiba also. Me and my friends went to Pearl Jam concert just to see X then we left. You are the greatest, I saw Billy Zoom taking pictures of the crowd after the concert. GREAT that you played Unheard Music, a big surprise to me. Check out videos at californiasons.wordpress.com.
C-YA!
