Win Tickets to See X at El Club

In the late '70s, thru the '80s, and even into the '90s the band X was making music and hitting stages. During that time they released 7 studio albums and became a staple in the punk rock scene. The band changed lineups and altered their sound throughout the years, but it all started in 1977 with Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom and D. J. Bonebrake. This week you have a chance to see this lineup once again!

X is currently out on the road playing shows up the East Coast and throughout the Midwest with the original lineup. Out of all of those dates, Detroit is the only city that is getting two shows! That's right, X is playing Detroit not one night, but two nights this weekend! First, they will be hitting the stage on Saturday, August 20th at El Club, where they will be playing their album Los Angeles and more songs from throughout their career. That night they will be joined by John Speck and Dead Rock West. Then, on Sunday, August 21st they will once again be at El Club to perform Wild Gift and more. Dead Rock West will be joining them on the bill again that night and so are and Timmy's Organism. These will be two legendary shows that you won't want to miss!

Tickets for each of the shows are $35 in advance or $40 the night of the show. There is a VERY good possibility that both of these shows will sell out. There were two night passes available, but those are already sold out. To purchase tickets to Saturday's show, click here. For Sunday night, click here. All ages are welcome to attend and doors are set to open at 8 p.m. both nights.
