Blue Republic's My Space Band of the Week: X

If you don't know who X are, there isn't much I can say. Simply stated, they are one of the greatest bands to ever roam the Earth. If that's not enough incentive to learn what you may not already know, then you can't be helped. If you live in the Northeast, this week could be your lucky break: the band arrives as part of its tour, including a stop at the Nokia Theater in Times Square on Wednesday night.

Listen to "Because I Do" from X's third album, Under the Big Black Sun, on my page, before hearing other classics on their page. Also on their page is a hell of a video from 1983, when the band played twice (!) on Late Night with David Letterman. Also, of course, go to the official site.
