Formed originally in 1977, this band has meant and still means a lot to countless lovers of their music, punk rock mixed with Americana\/rockabilly and poetry, and over the years they&#8217;ve been through so much. It was great to see X play this night. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Video by the totally amazing Reviewer Rob, Editor@ReviewerMagazine.com, of course.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zQC4c8rYCls\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>You should be able to click the pic below for full frame.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_12771\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12771\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zQC4c8rYCls\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/x-band-video-11-27-15-600px.jpg?resize=600%2C337\" alt=\"X opens their Casbah show after Billy Zoom takes the stage to cheers from the crowd.\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/x-band-video-11-27-15-600px.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/x-band-video-11-27-15-600px.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12771\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">X opens their Casbah show after Billy Zoom takes the stage amid cheers from the crowd.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The legendary band X returns by Reviewer Rob X opens their show at The Casbah, 11-27-15: this was said to be the first time X had appeared on stage since Billy Zoom had been in chemo treatment.
