I'm going to this show tonight and using SnapReply to live stream pics from the show if anyone wants to take a look. SnapReplay is a smartphone app that enables you to take pictures at an event ans stream them live to the web. Other people at the same event can also add their pictures to the same real time photo stream. To view an event you just open that even and the site will automatically add new pictures as they come in without the need for you to refresh. Snap Replay was recently approved in the itunes store and is now available as a free download for iPhone & Android. http://snapreplay.com
Some Info about X.
Back in 1977 Stev Caferio, Ian Krahe, Ian Rilen and Steve Lucas labelled their new band X. A name as much as a symbol. They set out to bring X music to the general public.
The tragic death of Ian Krahe staggered the band but couldn't stop it. After a few try outs it was decided that Steve Lucas would take up guitaring duties as well as leading with the vocals.
In 1979 Rilen, Lucas and Caferio recorded the iconic album X-Aspirations, produced by the legendary Lobby Lloyd.
A few years later Caferio left and Cathy Green picked up the drumsticks and revitalised the band. Not long after that they recorded At Home With You produced once more by Lobby Lloyd.
It managed to stay in the top 20 of the Indie charts for 29 months.
Over the years many players have passed through the X ranks and the band managed to keep on going over the decades. When Ian Rilen passed away it really did look like it was all over for X, but with the re-releasing of X's back catalogue through Aztec Music Steve Lucas managed to breathe new life into the beast.
Steve finally took the band to America and notched up a very successful tour of the West Coast with Kim Volkman and Bill Walsh. However, all good things must come to an end. Steve Lucas has called for one last round before letting X finally rest in peace. Be sure to attend the Last Round at The Tote on the first of June and raise your glasses one last time.
