Exene Cervenka Gets Bloodshot
Apr 17, 2008
Story by: Matt Kiser

Legendary punktress/X frontwoman Exene Cervenka inked a worldwide, multi-album
deal with Bloodshot this week for a new record, due out sometime in 2009.
Though details of the contract were not released, the sometime
author/mixed-media purveyor will be doing the CD packaging herself and will
begin work on it this fall. The as-of-yet titled album will be her first studio
recording since 2006's Sev7en.

Bloodshot label co-owner Rob Miller credits X and Cervenka for his success in
the music industry, telling CMJ that, "It would not be an overstatement to
suggest we would not exist if it were not for our deep and longstanding love of
Exene's bands X and the Knitters. Life is good when your heroes, and
inadvertent mentors, turn out to be really, really cool off the stage and,
through the twists and turns and reverberations of our lives, we get to work
together."

X took a break from regular gigging in 1988 and have since played only a
handful of shows with limited new material, but are currently on an anniversary
tour dubbed 13 X 31, the next leg of which kicks off in mid-May. Cervenka has
kept particularly busy regardless, releasing solo LPs and albums via the
Knitters, Auntie Christ (with Matt Freeman from Rancid) and the Original
Sinners, along with penning several books.
