  4. X has and will remain one of my favorite bands of all time. The band always puts on a live show and so gracious to their fans. I would love to you again in Atlanta, GA. Maybe you play at the Variety Playhouse or the Masquerade?

  7. Sometime in the early 80′s I read a review of X that called the band “The Peter, Paul and Mary of Punk.” And the music has been with me ever since. Thank you for thirty years of inspiration.

  8. U have been a life-long inspiration, and I still get goosebumps when “Come Back To Me” is on. Please come to St Louis or Columbia MO. Can help fill the venue of your choosing. Luv u Guys!

  9. Saw you guys play in Pittsburgh, PA in 2008. One of the best nights of my life.After all of these years, you still came out to hang out and meet your fans after the show, I have a tremendous amount of respect for you for that. All these years later after you started and you still have perfect melodic vocal harmony, and top notch music. Please please come back to Pittsburgh again.

  11. Loved you guys at the Roxy. Coming back with reinforcements next time; there are way more X fans out there than even I imagined.
    The Canyon Club is such a weird venue; when are you going to play there again :) ?

  26. Does anyone know if the rescheduled Wonderbar show will be on slae through Ticketmaster or elsewhere on the net? The show is listed as on sale, but with no mention otherwise. The Stone Pony box office (which handles Wonder Bar) won’t take phone orders. I really want to go, but driving all the way down to Asbury Park to only buy a ticket is too long.

  27. The Metro in Chicago, The Majestic Theater in Detroit and The Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland: all great places you’ve played. The Midwest loves you. Come see how we are!

  40. Caught you last year in Boston at the Paradise can’t wait to catch you again this year. You are best live band in the world. If you’re at an X show and you aren’t dancing and singing along than you aren’t alive, call the funeral pallor to come get youi….

    • Mongoose!!!……..I was b & r’d in T-town. Great place to grow up. Left in 76′ at 18 and lived in LA for 16 yrs. Saw about 30 X shows. Do you know if X has ever been to Tulsa? Tell me your X history. If you’ve never seen them..travel to Dallas or KC or something. Well worth it!

  50. My greatest memory: While in the Navy, back in 1988, speeding though the Outer Banks of North Carolina on a muggy summer night with my buddy Scott to party and camp out on Cape Hatteras. Cranking “UTBBS” — very loud. The cassette wrinkled up then failed somewhere around Nag’s Head. We sang the entire album from memory. Today: Please come to Spokane!!! Play the Knitting Factory, or the Bing, or the Fox, or the Opera House. My band, Free Whiskey (the Band) would gladly open for you. Long may you prosper. Your harmonies, rhythms, Zoom solos (and other unique Zoomisms), the drumming, the bassing, and the communication between you all is genius. Happy 35-36 and onward! Sincerely, Shaun M. Kelly. Phone number upon request.

  51. Texas is a fucking huge state. Dallas is 300 miles from me, Austin is 250 miles from me. And I live in Houston. Problem with the concept, if i’m not mistaken, is that folks will come from local areas. Texas has a bigger local area, but I really would love to have the band show in Houston. Seriously, booking dudes, Houston is 300 miles from Dallas. That’s roughly the distance from New York to Boston. But you wouldn’t think that it is just a simple afternoon transit from Boston to NYC, would you?
    Houston needs X

  52. I saw you during the 1980′s in Raleigh at the “Underground” One of the best concerts I have ever been to. PLEASE, PLEASE come back to Raleigh or Chapel Hill ” Cats Cradle” this fall!!!! I missed you last time around in NC. Your the best.

  53. PLEASE make sure St Louis is on the tour list. Love to see you back at Pop’s or the Pageant. And a show at the Blue Note in Columbia, MO would also rawk!

  56. Come back to Europe! We miss you! Chris & Franzi (some crazy P-Jammers, that saw you opening 7 times and loved it :) )

  57. I second the Iowa request but in IOWA CITY at the Englert Theater. The students of the University of Iowa need their X-Bomb!

  60. Please tell me you’re going to playing somewhere in LA/OC during December! I love the XMAS with X shows at HOB Anaheim!

  64. Joining all who request seeing x in the midwest. X is my #1 fave band and ill drive wherever. I head up the preschool teachers 4 x movement.

    • I have recently moved back to Saint Louis where I grew up, my wife passed away recently very young (31) and the song Poor Girl always reminded me of her….I have seen X starting in Boulder Co 1982 or so, Portland, San Francisco(several Times…I think it selfish…but would love to see them play here…the Pageant would be fine.

      Reply ↓

      • Yeah!! Love that. Saw X at Pop’s in East STL, but the Pageant would really rawk! And if in the area, please also consider the Blue Note in Columbia, MO. I know Rich King (the owner) would love to have you as he is a true FAN.

  65. Saw you guys years ago, been out of the loop for awhile. Would love to see a cincinnati show.(hopefully i did not miss one.)

  69. Guys, don’t want to seem stupid but… did you ever play in the UK before the All Tomorrows Parties gig, and now with Pearl Jam? I’ve been listening to your records for years but can’t recall you ever playing here. See you back soon I hope!

    Reply ↓

      • I saw them twice in the UK London around ’82, ’83. Once was at a venue called The Venue in Victoria (now the Palace theatre) it was a double headliner with 10,000 Maniacs I cannot remember the other venue it might have been the Forum in Kentish Town.

  71. I hate to be late to the party, but Milwaukee would love to see you again. I think August 2006 was your last vist. We need X.

  73. X on a golf course 30 yrs later — poetry in there somewhere. rockin & jammin like time stood still. dancin in “the pit” w/out being slammed? talk to john doe??!!!! i remain energized 4wks post-show and forever thankful i got to dance and jam to my favorite band LIVE with my bros. THANK YOU X and fam for rallying!!!

    Reply ↓

    • X on a golf course… I’ve seen close to thirty X concerts….but never at a golf course. Sounds like fun. Tell me more..Iove hearing thr details of others X history.

      Reply ↓

  75. Nope, nothing better then seeing X in a smallish club or theater. Which is why I am NOT very happy with the recent Cinco de Mayo gig, as well as the upcoming July date at Hollywood Park. I understand a gig is a gig, and a paying one at that. But enough is enough I want an HOB gig or something! I think X have played a couple “local(ish)” gigs in the last several months, but the dates seem random. Great. But, I will keep saying it until it happens. MORE large club / small theater gigs, please. I know their is an audience for it. It’s about time, people :(

    • I second the request for Mass/Boston/New England dates! I missed last fall’s Boston show. I WON’T miss the next one.

      Reply ↓

      • I agree, though I did make it to last years SOLD OUT show at the Paradise… and the See How We Are Tour w/John Doe & Exene the year before… and the previous X tour… ALL at the Paradise. Time to sell out a theater again!!! Orpheum?

    • YES please come to Boston or NYC!!!!!! Please please please! I saw you guys in NJ last fall and it was amazing!!!!!!! I tell everyone about it, it was so good. Your music is so good!

  79. Please come to the Cats Cradle in Carrboro again. We have seen you several times there and would love to see you for this tour. Please oh please.

  81. Man, the show at Sweetwater last night rocked! You sounded great! Come back soon! Seems like yesterday that I saw the band for the first time at Barrington Hall in Berkeley in ’80, I think it was.

    Reply ↓

  82. First saw you in Bellingham, WA. in 1981, drummed on Billy’s shoes as a young teen. Can’t fuc*ing WAIT to see you in Portland again on the 11th of May! How I learned my lesson!

    Reply ↓

    • Thanks for May 8th Blank Club San Jose–haven’t seen you since the 80;s in LA and it was even better 35 years later!

  83. Please tour some U.S. cities, there are so many people that would love to see you across our country. You have had a profound effect on me and many others. Have a great time in Europe. Love and Peace Mike

  84. First time I saw you guys was at Fast Lane in Asbury Park, NJ. When I met my wife years later and saw she had Los Angles on the original Dangerhouse label I knew it was meant to be. We named our daughter after Exene. She’s a seven year old firecracker! Come back to Baltimore or Philly or DC. We missed you last time!

Blessing ALWAYS to ~X~ … been listening (and coming to your shows) for at least 33 of your 35 years, from Orange County to Napa County :) – thanX to my sister Linda, initially, when she began spinnin’ yer wax in her and Laura’s bedroom in Fountain Valley (’79-’80ish)!
