1977–1979: Formation and Dangerhouse era

X was founded by bassist-singer Doe and guitarist Zoom after responding to each others advertisements that they had placed in The Recycler, a local magazine. Doe brought his poetry-writing girlfriend Cervenka to band practices, and she eventually joined the band as a vocalist. Drummer Bonebrake was the last of the original members to join after leaving local group the Eyes; he also filled in on drums for Germs.

X formed in 1977 inside the L.A. punk scene. Vocalists John Doe and Exene Cervenka were joined by drummer DJ Bonebrake and guitarist Billy Zoom. The first four albums of the band were produced by ex-Doors Ray Manzarek, who also played keyboard on some of the songs. X split towards the end of the 1980s, with each of the four members pursuing their own solo projects. They reform from time to time, both in studio and live activities.
