X share new single "Delta 88 Nightmare," announce West Coast holiday tour

Legendary punk group X have a new single out on November 29 via Fat Possum. The original lineup of the band — Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebrake — recorded together earlier this year, laying down five songs in two days. Two of those recordings are on this single: “Delta 88 Nightmare,” a song that was demoed for Los Angeles but never got the full studio treatment, and “Cyrano de Berger’s Back” which X recorded originally for 1987’s See How We Are. You can watch the video for “Delta 88 Nightmare,” which stars and was directed by Exene’s song Henry Mortensen, below.

The band have also announced a West Coast ‘X-Mas’ holiday tour, hitting San Juan Capistrano, Sacramento, Sonoma, San Francisco, Seattle and Los Angeles. All dates are listed below.
