The legendary X (not to be confused with the US band of the same name) formed in Sydney, Australia in 1977. They recorded their seminal 1980 debut X-Aspirations in one 5 hour session with Lobby Loyde producing. People called X a punk band - and they certainly acted like one - but they were actually a great meld of Ian Rilen's gut busting bass and pioneering Oz rock stance (as you would expect from a veteran of both Band Of Light and RoseTattoo) and newcomer Steve Lucas' incredible sandpaper scream. 5 years later Rilen and Lucas recruited drummer Cathy Green (from experimental Canberra band **** **** [cough cough]) and recorded their classic 2nd. album At Home With You (also produced by Loyde). Green's style fitted X like a glove and helped transform the band into a killer live act. The songs and production had more depth too - the Hunter's & Collectors' horn section: The Horns Of Contempt contributing to 3 tracks. A limited edition version of the LP was also released in 1985 (A TV Dinner At Home With X) which contained a T-Shirt and a flexi-disc of the song 'El Salvador' recorded live at The Prince Of Wales in Melbourne on March 13th. 1985 for a live 3PBS radio broadcast. The year 2007 marked the 30th anniversary of X. Lucas and Green, along with Kim Volkman (Love Addicts) reformed X and will played select gigs to promote a reissue of Home.
