X were the quintessential L.A. punk rockers before they grew into a first rock & roll band and live isthmus; however, ebullience for their unique, level-headed and humorous work never quite reached vital mass.
Formed in 1977 later songwriter and bassist John Doe (b. Feb. 24, 1956) met (and later married) Exene Cervenka (b. Feb. 1, 1956) at a Venice poetry workshop, with rockabilly veteran Billy Zoom (b. Feb. 20, 194?) on guitar and D.J. Bonebrake (b. Dec. 8, 1955) on drums, the band garnered an immediate following. "Ascertained" by ex-Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek, he took the band into the studio for the recording of Los Angeles in 1980. It was curious, at a time when punks were alleged to hatred hipsters, that X's merging with an ex-Door was not only when tolerated, only earned them stature as California's preeminent punk ring when the record earned across-the-board raves. 1981 sawing machine the release of the similarly punked-up Uncivilized Gift, piece their 1982 album, Under the Big Black Sun, began what would be a long vocation in merging hard rock, commonwealth and family into their impassioned desegregate. The band successfully began to mix in their democrat politics with an optic toward matters of the bosom.
As the band began to reach wider audiences, both Doe and Cervenka enjoyed outside careers in the humanistic discipline -- he as an worker in films like Great Balls of Fire and Roadside Prophets, and she as a poet and vocable artist, collaborating with Lydia Lunch and Wanda Coleman.
In 1983, the rootsy songs on More Fun in the New World lententide themselves to acoustic performances which the ring had interpreted to trying alive. They took it one gradation further on their slope figure, the Knitters (with Dave Alvin) which yielded one Slash album, Pitiable Little Critter in the Road, in 1985. Ain't Love Grand was a harder rock album in 1986 and was followed by Zoom's divergence. He was momently replaced by Alvin, only for recording purposes, the ring recruited Tony Gilkyson (erstwhile of Lone Justice) for See How We Are, the band's most definitely hard-rock record in the catalogue. Gilkyson stayed for the recording Live at the Whisky A Go-Go in 1988 earlier the band took some much-needed metre cancelled, although they ne'er stony-broke up. In the meanwhile, Doe and Cervenka had since divorced, and the Cervenka's Old Wives Tales (Rhinoceros, 1989) and Running Sacred (1990) and Doe's Meet John Doe for Geffen in 1990.
By 1993, the ring got unitedly for the transcription of Hey Zeus!, a collection of unexampled songs, just the response was underwhelming, and it was back to solo do work. Doe released Kissingsohard for Rhino in 1995. Exene also released Surface to Air Serpents for the 2.13.61 tag, as well as a recitation of the Unabomber Manifesto, subsequently ever-changing her name to Cervenkova. During their shop at hiatuses, X would now and then seem in Los Angeles and San Francisco and during one remain, recorded a live album in San Francisco in 1995, Unclogged, and self-released it. Cervenkova's up-to-the-minute send off is Auntie Christ with Bonebrake and Matt Freeman of Rancid. Gilkyson also deeds as a solo creative person. X also appeared in terzetto films: Penelope Spheeris' punk documental The Decline of Western Civilization, Urgh! A Music War, and a documentary of their lives and times, The Unheard Music. Beginning in 1998, institution member Billy Zoom returned to the fold for a series of on-again/off-again shows and modified touring; a geminate of 2004 Los Angeles concerts were recorded and videotaped for Live in Los Angeles, released both as an sound recording CD and video DVD in the outflow of 2005.

Johnny Depp to replace Ledger in final role?
Johnny Depp may be poised to replace the late Heath Ledger in the Australian's final film, according to reports.
English director Terry Gilliam is determined to finish shooting Ledger's final film, 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus', and is said to want Depp in the lead role.
Filming on the set of the fantasy movie was reportedly abandoned following Ledger's death in New York on Tuesday.
However, Gilliam now wants to complete the shoot with Depp in the role.
A studio source told The Sun: "There is a point in the film when Heath falls through a magic mirror. He could change into another character after that and that is where Johnny would come in.
"It's a weird, fantasy, time-travel movie so Heath's character could easily change appearance. It would be a poignant moment.
"Johnny's not working at the moment so everyone is praying he will do it."
Ledger was said to be less than two months away from completing filming on the movie at the time of his death.

Nicole Kidman - Kidman Thrills Dj With Dinner Delivery
A cheeky Nashville, Tennessee radio DJ was left speechless when NICOLE KIDMAN showed up with his lunch on Tuesday (24Jun08).
The pregnant actress phoned in to radio host Gerry House's WSIX-FM show from her car to compliment her husband Keith Urban on his skills as a father-to-be, and when the DJ asked the Aussie to pick up a salad for him she obliged.
Urban, who was an in-studio guest on the show, was attempting to play down his role in Lamaze classes when Kidman called in and introduced herself as, "This is Keith's wife!"
She said, "Keith has been doing Lamaze lessons, he is selling himself short... He has been very good at it."
Kidman added she was on her way to the radio station to pick her husband up but she was stuck in traffic, prompting cheeky House to serve up his lunch order.
The actress burst into the studio 30 minutes later with the DJ's salad, prompting the stunned host to insist he'll never be able to eat it.
He stammered, "I have no intention of eating this. Are you kidding? Lunch delivered by Nicole Kidman? I'm having it bronzed!"

Jonas Brothers say they're enjoying the ride
The Jonas Brothers [ tickets ] are surely "living the dream."The three brothers from New Jersey--Nick, Kevin and Joe--are celebrating 1 million-plus sales of their self-titled album. Their new film, "Camp Rock," debuted on the Disney Channel June 20. A new CD, "A Little Bit Longer," is scheduled for a summer release. Their reality show, "Living the Dream," is playing on Disney. And they also recently announced they will publish a new book and begin to work on a 3-D concert film slated for a 2009 release.But Kevin Jonas, 20, said no matter how busy he and his brothers get, he would never want to return to a "normal" life."If I wasn't doing this, I'd probably be working at Starbucks," Kevin said during a recent teleconference from Paris. "So sitting in Paris and being able to play our music over here, it's incredible to do that as a living. And, you know, it's the most unbelievable thing in the world."We know that we're living so many people's dreams every single day. The fact that we get to do it, it's unbelievable. We're really honored and we love what we do, so, no, probably not, I wouldn�t want to go back to a normal life."The Jonas Brothers mania will return to North America July 4 when the band plays Toronto with Demi Lovato. Nick Jonas admitted he, too, enjoys the craziness that surrounds them. "Sometimes, it's kind of funny the response that we get," said Nick, 15. "I mean, sometimes, when they serve us at restaurants and [fans] come up to you when you're there eating with your mom--those are our funny moments when you're like, 'What's going on?' It's amazing they're so supportive and that they�re just always there to show us they like our music."Fans will be able to indulge in new Jonas Brothers music come Aug. 12 when "A Little Bit Longer" is released. The title track of the album deals with Nick's battle with diabetes. He was diagnosed with the disease in late 2005. "I'm so glad that I'm able to share my story," Nick said. "But, then, everybody has their own story or knows someone who has a story about diabetes or something like that, and the fact that I'm able to share mine is an honor."Joe Jonas, 18, explained that the band, which collaborated with Rooney's Robert Schwartzman and producer John Fields on songwriting, is still choosing the rest of the songs for the record.
