X Live from Studio 22

To help celebrate X's 25th birthday we made an appearance on this show, Studio 22, hosted by Clinton Walker.
X was comprised of two founding members Ian Rilen and Steve Lucas. We also invited Geoff Homes back into the fold and Cath Synnerdahl picked up the sicks and layed down the beats. Ian and Cath are no longer with us, so it is with a bitter sweet taste inmy mouth that I am uploading these images. I only wish they could have include more songs and more of the interview with Ian and myself...

Best band eva- we all used to see them twice a week in Espy days mid 80s. Everyone in St Kilda loved X. If they werent playing a Gig themselves they were slammin to X :) RIP Ian- bestest bad boy. Thanks Steve xx

Many, many nights spent at X gigs. Heh, when the Strawberry Hills was the Southern Cross. Get pissed & flog a few in pool at The Clock, score from the lebos & stagger down to the Southern Cross fer X. Ahahahaha 👏 one pick n a matchbox😑 Godz bless Ian & Cath 👏 Ride on, Stevo.

The drummer was Cath Synnerdahl. She too, has since passed away. She was a great drummer and as lovely person.

Been in love with this band ever since I stumbled upon Aspirations some 15 years ago. Cath was such a mean drummer. ❤️

Thank you for sharing Steve.

Nice one! Good honest Rock n Roll.

Thanks, a sparkling taste of X. Had the pleasure to See Steve perform last night in Collingwood as part of 35 years of X! I saw X back in Richmond '87, on the back of their second album with Ian & Kathy. A powerful, unique 3-piece, who were direct, elemental, talented, and profoundly influential. Also great to see Clinton Walker. I did revel in his, and other's independant reviews in Rock Australia Magazine, which enticed punters with a hunger for new and uncompromising local talent. Cheers!
