X - Big Black X (Official Music Video) 

Far and away the very best band to come out of the LA punk scene... and still driving it home.

Nice to hear Exene singing lead. She sounds great!

X's new single, "Big Black X," is out now from the upcoming album 'Smoke & Fiction' out August 2nd on Fat Possum Records.

*PUNK ROCK LEGENDS!!*

Can't imagine the trajectory of my life if I hadn't seen X in 1982 when I was 16

X has outlasted most civilizations, in both duration, and quality.

Why the hell are they not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

NEW X??? IN 2024????

I should have been asleep more than an hour ago but I guess I'll just have to be tired. There was no way I was going to miss this. Playing on repeat.

Long live X!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fan since 1st listen in 1982, they still sound amazing.

Loved X from first time I heard them, saw them in 1982, two nights back to back. My Favorite punk band of all time!❤❤❤

"Stay awake and don't get taken..." sage advice

Best live band of any genre, can't wait.

You know I sit tonight and listen. Back in the 1980's, my best friend and his girlfriend at the time went to see "X" at a theatre across the street from where we worked, a gas station. It was in Santa Barbara California at the Arlington Theatre and I was either 16 or 17. I didn't care for punk, I was a "metalhead" and a mobile deejay playing freestyle/funk. I worked that night as the marquee shined with "X" and the crowds that were in line! Years later I continued deejaying and couldn't stop playing mostly new wave/punk, goth, metal, the privilege of growing up in So Cal with all the wonderful music and cruising LA/Hollywood. I turn 60 this year and still deejay on the internet and I play this great music, but I regret that I didn't buy a ticket to that one concert across the street to see "X." You are awesome and you bring back memories to a simpler place and time with every song I play.....viva "Los Angeles!"

Memories are gettin' late Not erased like tape Not replaced with fake Drivin' state to altered state Holdin' foldin ' maps On another pay phone break A big black X on a white marquee A naked Christmas tree on fire In a Cherokee alley Silent movie genuflecting dream Hangin' off bumpers and Scrapin' off tar and leather L.A. Riverbed drag strip on acid And somethin' about a basement Stay awake and don't get taken We knew the gutter Also the Future Stay awake and don't get taken Hollywood letters fallin' down Errol Flynn's abandoned mansion Scary Hillside guy Angel dust low-ridin' by We swam into the Pacific And Windward intersection Viet Nan vet I met and cannot forget Bikers on the 101 and 77 Sunset Strip Old cars and new scars 78's on cassette tape After hours blues escape. AM radio dedications Madison Lincoln, any old city A tiny little x on a white marquee

Love it. X definitely still knows how to rock out.

I saw X play with INXS in '93, I got to interview Exene in 2013

Yes, X…great lyrics & video edits. Thank you for staying alive & well & producing this latest release. I have seen you play live 16 times, that I can list, beginning in 1986 show @ Oscar’s in Santa Barbara. Booking tix for some of your upcoming show on The End Is Near tour. Until then…

OH YES INDEED. May whatever God you worship bestow blessings on Exene, John, Billy and Don. Long live the mighty X. I saw virtually every show in San Diego they did in the '80's (and a couple in OC) and I can't recall anyone else delivering like that onstage that consistently..

Wow, those signature X harmonies!

NEW X SONG HELL YEAH 🤘🤘

so glad they are doing another album!!

Billy Zoom. That is all.

X this band changed my life! LONG LIVE X!

This song is total X! So awesome! Looking forward to getting the album!

My #1 band of all time, I just got tickets to take my kids to their first concert! It's like full circle, their first concert the greatest band and biggest influence on my punk youth. EPIC!!!

This just makes me so happy. Another ripper from the greatest band. Ever.

I love you guys!

eXcellent!

saw them in new york city. ray manzarek sat in on keyboards, hot show ,a blast...memories never die and never will "X"

Like it! They picked up where they left off on the last album

Love x from indonesia

❌️⭕️❌️⭕️❗️❗️❗️

What the... X is back? Oh wow!

Im counting the days til the album's out. When X came back with Alphabetland i was completely stunned - name any other other band that could land such a powerful record after such a long hiatus. I cant think of any. I know the new one will be just as good, or even better. Oh, and X? Australian punters would turn out in droves if you could see your way to touring here. 😊❤

Huge fan here in New Orleans. Been to every show they've played here. Hoping they add us to their next tour. I could never have too much X. Sorry I missed out on the first press but will definitely preorder in the morning. Thank you X, you're the best.

Having been crazy about Alphabetland, I'm very amused, this rocks. !!! Congrats

Wow, looking forward to watching this new song! When I saw this title, I thought it was something from Under the Big Black Sun.

As a 48 year old skater, just starting again after 30 years, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHIT!!!! Holy crap, I ain't heard anything this genuinely good in forever!!

COME OUT AND PLAY…..LIVE!!!

A lot of bands influenced my youngster ears via headphones,but X's 1980 release unleashed a scary entity loose in me noggin' on first listen. Salute 2024

Still amazing. But anyone who knows me would probably figure I'd think that, I was part of the yahoo group back in the early 2000s. Can't wait to see ya'll again on September 1st

Nice. I have a vintage X button from probably late 80's

It never gets old 🫶

...Fine Wine!

I expect three nights at the whisky as your final shows. Please

I'm in love with this new song! That's what you get when John & Exene collaborate on writing! Exene's voice is the best. Just like me, X is aging well lol! I'm still your #1 fan❤💋

Thanks for mentioning there's a new album coming at the end of the video! I just preordered it.

The OGs still got it...

It's always a good day when X puts out new music.

Cant wait.!!!!

Good job, Gilbert Trejo! Video vibe so good, this could have been done in the 80's ❤

Great .Thank you for all the great music from the 1st lp til now.

みなさんお元気そうで何よりです。日本で鑑賞しています。

l drove 2 hours one way to see this lineup in 2017, would do it again if the tour was coming to AZ. Sadly, it isn't.

X never disappoints!!

Awesome 👏

Awesome! Rock on, X!!!

"Stay awake and don't get taken..." Lyric envy! lol, so cool as always ;D

Still magic

LOVED IT!!!!!

LOVE IT - pre-ordered the new album and excited to see them in Atlanta in October!!!!

This is awesome.

Just watched the documentary a lil bit ago. Excited for the new music!

Awesome! I was one of the lucky 500 to get the signed test pressing. There's no track list included. It's nice to know the names of the songs!

Love it ! Lyrics, please!!! old haunts mentioned - ah, the memories.

Yipskippy 🤸 🤸‍♂️ 🤸‍♀️

Feels like when I first heard you guys in '83 all over again. LOVE!!

Thank you. You guys made the 70s-80s something to remember forever. Hope it isn't over on August 2nd, but looking forward... ✌&❤

They provided the soundtrack for my life.

Bravo! A good song to go out on. Looking forward to the album and possibly going to Falls Church gig.

Awesome video . outrageous video best ever!

Xcellant...sounding great!!

I saw them recently in San Diego, and dozens of other times, they're buddies 👍🗿

You gotta make a stop in New Orleans for your farewell tour. You guys were a staple at Jimmy's back in the day.

One of my all time faves since '79! I remember waiting anxiously for the first album to come out.❤❤❎❤❤

FUCK YEAH!!!!! Can't wait for this new album and the tour to swing through the East Coast.

I got a test pressing of the full LP on vinyl and it fxcking kills! Forever one of the greatest bands of all time… X Lives!

See ya 8/30/24 in Denver 🎉

I love you guys. Have loved you since first hearing you in 1980 and seeing you in '83. You are the sound of my youth, the shows I went to see in OC and LA over and over, and over. You're still killing it!!! Long live ✖️

Perfect

❤ Love you kids-

Good last single. I wish they were coming a little closer on their supposed last tour. Might need to take a road trip down south or something.

Thanks for all the decades of great fucking music. You will be missed.
