	Music News of the World (Hi-Fi)
		Zoom, the 50-year-old guitarist who basically invented the punk-rockabilly sound of the pioneering L.A. band and who has been, for all intents and purposes, incommunicado for the past 14 years, has decided to end his long silence and join his former mates for a pair of reunion dates in L.A. and San Francisco in February.
		The guitarist, who said he didn't leave the band because he was angry, but rather because he just wasn't having fun anymore, said the four successful rehearsals the band has had so far have made the shift back into the X fold that much easier.
		It just seems like a lot of people wanted to see us together again," Zoom said, adding that it was the first time the four had been in the same room together outside of their lawyers' offices in more than a decade.

	He'll be in the house, but not at home \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		When guitarist-founder Billy Zoom left Los Angeles punk pioneers X back in 1985, the group's chemistry was never the same.
		Zoom rejoined in 1998 amid much hoopla, yet the brutally honest/notoriously cynical ax-master has always insisted he did so strictly for the money, going so far as to dub X "a nostalgia act" a few years ago.
		These days, Zoom is focused on his role as a producer, mostly recording music for television shows and commercials at his home studio in Orange County.

	Billy Zoom - My Bio (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Zoom may have looked like a product of his era, but roiling beneath the surface was a nascent punk attitude-a disgust for all the music and fashion excesses of the '60s and '70s.
		Zoom might have made a conscious decision to go punk, but there was no hiding his sophistication as a musician.
		Another thing Zoom brought to the table was his detached, ultracool image-the spread-legged stance, the expressionless face, the silver Gretsch guitar and silver leather jacket, the bleached-white pompadour.

	Nude as the News: X:
		The rockabilly/punk act always sang about the concerns of the common man on their records, from landlord issues to "Adult Books." Although X doesn't play live much these days, when they do, they give the people what they want.
		Bassist/singer John Doe, singer Exene Cervenka, and drummer D.J. Bonebrake are now thankfully reunited with original guitarist and surf god Billy Zoom, and Wednesday night at Slim's they played as if they were back in their heyday, selecting for their set the best songs from their best albums.
		Billy Zoom, looking as if he'd just hopped off his motorcycle, strapped on his sparkly Gretsch as if he'd never missed a step and cranked out perfect riff after riff.

	X-The Unheard Music
		Formed in 1977 by singer and bassist John Doe, guitarist Billy Zoom, singer Exene Cervenka, and drummer D.J. Bonebrake, X was an immediate critical success.
		The album, with its driving cow-punk rock, led by Zoom's rockabilly guitar, Manzerek's keyboard, and the dark, socially conscious, lyrics of Cervenka and Doe, was a critical hit and sold surprisingly well for a album on such a small label.
		In late 1985, Billy Zoom left X and was replaced by Blasters guitarist Dave Alvin, who with Doe and Cervenka were members of the acoustic country-rock band the

		Their landmark 1980 record Los Angeles resonated so loudly with the artisans of the city it is named after, that the band received an Official Certificate of Recognition from the City of Los Angeles in acknowledgment of their important contributions to Los Angeles music and culture.

	Levi Dexter - Rockabilly Central
		Inactive for the past few years due to the typical business problems that plague musicians, Dexter is back in time to harvest the fruit of the rockabilly revival.
		Among the first generation of pre-Stray Cats neo-rockabillies, Dexter was a contemporary of such ’70s revivalists as Robert Gordon, Billy Zoom, Johnny Legend and Shakin’ Stevens.
		Dexter comes from a time when being a rockabilly performer meant risking being labeled a novelty act or a nostalgia geek, and credit must be given to anyone who stuck by the music all these years.

	dOc DVD Review: X: Live in Los Angeles (2004)
		In this reunion concert—recorded at the Los Angeles House of Blues in November 2004—the seminal west coast punk band X finds themselves 25 years older, but still able to burn through a set of some of their best works with the kind of raw, surging energy generally reserved for bands half their age.
		With the original lineup of Exene Cervenka (vocals), John Doe (vocals, bass), Billy Zoom (guitar) and D.J. Bonebrake (drums) on stage, X shows in just over an hour that their unique brand of explosively personal music (built largely around the give-and-take vocals between Cervenka and Doe) is still as viable today as it ever was.
		Photos From Billy Zoom (02m:19s) is an automated set of photos taken from the stage by the guitarist, after a brief intro explaining the concept.

		I LAUGHED WHEN I saw the custom-autographed guitar pick at Billy Zoom's place (www.xtheband.com/billy.html) on the X homepage (www.xtheband.com).
		X was big out in rural Sonoma County, the only explanation for expensive, glossy posters with a snapshot of the band – Zoom, bassist John Doe, singer Exene Cervenka, and drummer D.J. Bonebrake.
		There was, in a minute, three down and just Zoom to go, and when I caught his eye, he had that strange, almost cynical smile on his face – an attempt at parody, he claimed, his way of making known the contempt he felt for bloated '70s rock stars who preened onstage while performing.

	An X timeline \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		When Billy Zoom left after five albums (he's since returned), the band's punk roots became more and more tenuous as X dabbled in metal and eventually settled on mainstream rock as its defining sound.
		Disc Two expands on the country sound with the inclusion of two songs from X's backwoods alter ego, the Knitters (basically X minus Billy Zoom, with the Blasters'; Dave Alvin, later a member of X, on guitar).
		Then, there was the fact that Zoom had actually mastered the guitar – quite astonishing for any punk band.

	X - Biography - AOL Music
		Ain't Love Grand was a harder rock album in 1986 and was followed by Zoom's departure.
		He was momentarily replaced by Alvin, but for recording purposes, the band recruited Tony Gilkyson (formerly of Lone Justice) for See How We Are, the band's most decidedly hard-rock record in the catalog.
		Beginning in 1998, founding member Billy Zoom returned to the fold for a series of on-again/off-again shows and limited touring; a pair of 2004 Los Angeles concerts were recorded and videotaped for Live in Los Angeles, released both as an audio CD and video DVD in the spring of 2005.

	CNN.com - A band named X - Aug 24, 2004
		X in its '80s heyday: D.J. Bonebrake, Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom and John Doe.
		There was Doe, lanky, laconic and powerful; Exene Cervenka, his wife and later ex-wife, possessed of an angular, haunting voice, like a Shangri-La crossed with Yoko Ono; Billy Zoom, the rockabilly guitarist 10 years older than his bandmates; and the appropriately named D.J. Bonebrake, the crushingly accurate drummer.
		Zoom left, Doe and Cervenka got divorced and the band faded away, though it regrouped in 1993 for another album, "Hey Zeus!"

	Doe! 'Forever' stumbles and stutters - Minnesota Daily
		Though his former band X is credited as being the quintessential L.A. punk band in the late 1970s and early 1980s, X was never strictly punk.
		Billy Zoom, X's guitar player, was already an established rockabilly musician before he joined the band.
		And while X was unquestionably punk, with its heavy, distorted guitars and an urgent energy to their sound, X also incorporated many early rock 'n' roll and country styles that tied the band to the roots-rock revival with other such groups as the Blasters and Gun Club.

		The vocal blend of John Doe and Exene Cervenka, the Sonny and Cher of postpunk, was their calling card, and their unique, intelligent songs were the payoff.

		Good interview....I have always loved Billy's playing....I think he gave Punk credit.......reguardless or not; to think no-one feels passionate about his playing, is wrong.
		Billy stood stock-still for the entire show, guitar slung low, legs spread, with this ear-to-ear grin on his face, scanning the crowd and just beaming like the happiest man on the planet; he looked so laid-back, as he played the most astounding buzz-saw guitar I've ever heard.
		I had known Billy was the soul of X's music -- the shocker was that he was the soul of their stage-show too!
