X Gear Up for 31st Anniversary Tour
John Doe tours with Wilco
What do you get when you put Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom, and D.J. Bonebrake in a big shiny bus and tell 'em to have at it? Why, you've got the "13-31 Tour", an all-too-rare series of live outings from the original lineup of seminal Los Angeles rockabilly-tinged punkers X in celebration of the 31st (holy hell!) anniversary of their formation. What did you think I was gonna say?Yes, X will be doling out many a Wild Gift on stage this spring, from a youngster-schooling appearance at SXSW to, you guessed it, a gig where it all began, Los Angeles. And just in case you don't feel like leaving that house that you call home to catch all the steamy single-X action, one of the band's SXSW appearances will be taped for an hour-long DirecTV special. Ooh, special!
Seasoned road warrior John Doe has quite a few dates of his own before the so-called "13-31 Tour" kicks off, including a whole bunch with some band called Wilco.
