X Sandringham Hotel, 14 August 2008
Call me old fashioned, but its refreshing to see a proper sex & drugs and lock up your daughter fully fledged rock star once in a while. Upon entering the ground floor of the Sando - which these days is your typical suburban beer & bistro local boozer – Steve Lucas stuck out a mile. Amid the casual chatter and clothing towered the very personification of rock’n’roll. Pants as tight as an Olympic cyclists, a weighty 3/4 length cream coat complete with lustrous embroidered trimming and a presence that was utterly commanding.
While he may have looked slightly out-of place amid the after-work drinkers as soon as he stepped on stage up-stairs it looked as if that was exactly where he was meant to be. As a band, X don’t really have a bio as such, more like a running sheet, their career a swathe of sex & drugs, sweat, splits and sadness. 2007 saw the thirtieth anniversary of the band, which along the way has lost founding member, Ian Rilen, guitarist Ian Krahe, drummer Steve Cafiero and Lobby Lloyde who was the producer for the frenetic five hour recording session that formed the band’s debut album.
