We did a double take when this popped into our in-boxes this morning: X ANNOUNCES TRL NATIONAL TOUR.

That’s the legendary West Coast punk band X, going on some sort of Carson Daly-sponsored trek? Not exactly.

X are going on tour — and letting their fans pick the set list (you can vote on potential song combinations on the band’s Website now). The L.A. pioneers are hitting the road with their original lineup (John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom and D.J. Bonebrake) to raise money for Sweet Relief, the charity that gives financial aid to sick or aging rockers. So nothing to panic about after all. Here are the dates:

April 9 – Portland, OR @ Crystal Ballroom
April 10/11 – Seattle, WA @ The Showbox
April 14/15 – Denver CO @ Bluebird Theatre
April 19 – Indio, CA @ Coachella Music Festival
May 17 – Minehead, UK @ All Tomorrow’s Parties
May 26 – Boston, MA @ The Paradise
May 29/30/31 – New York, NY @ Bowery Ballroom
June 4 – Philadephia, PA @ World Café Live
June 5 – Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club
June 6 – Baltimore, MD @ Rams Head Live!
June 9 – Carrboro, NC @ Cat’s Cradle
June 10 – Asheville, NC @ The Orange Peel
June 11 – Knoxville, TN @ Bijou Theatre
June 12 – Athens, GA @ 40 Watt Club
June 13 – Atlanta, GA @ Variety Playhouse
June 16 – Lexington, KY @ The Dame
June 18/19/20 – Chicago, IL @ Double Door
June 22 – Madison, WI @ Majestic Theatre

Most under-rated American band ever. Their songs are still going to sound great in 50 years.

X is still unbelieveable amazing. And I still can not believe that they are not the biggest musical thing ever. But I know one day it will happen for them. History will be written with Exene and John as 2 of our most important American artists.
