X

Priestess of punk Exene Cervenka co-fronted X, one of L.A.'s most enduring underground bands from the '70s. Cervenka has always had a bit of a twang in her music; now she lives in central Missouri, working on a new collection of songs and art collages. Her art will appear later this month in New York City.

In 1985, punkers John Doe and Exene Cervenka of X teamed with guitarist Dave Alvin of the Blasters to record country and rockabilly music. Twenty years later, they're back with The Modern Sounds of the Knitters.
