Early on No one escapes the madness emitted from the stage. Whether it's Art's and Droid's grooving-backbone, HT and Turtle's matchless FX sounds, or Red's never ending lyrical attack, the fans always crave more LX.

For O.C.'s LX, the show is always the priority. You know, jumping off 5-foot stages, getting freaky with girls while performing, dumping s%$t on each other, all that fun stuff. At one show, Red was so pumped he ran his head through the stage wall for the grand finale. And once, HT was going off so much that he almost threw up on the side of the stage. You never know what they'll be wearingNeon face paint, Retro suits, etc. The point is LX shocks the crowdthey take their show as serious as their music.

Promoting their Demo CD and expanding their fan base has kept LX busy. Their music is featured on the upcoming Motion Picture "DEAD AIR." San Diego's TV show "Planet X" features has aired on LX segment. They've also been featured on KROQ's Music from your own backyard and appeared on OCN News. Additionally, LX continues to be the most popular O.C. college band delivering powerful/memorable performances. These and other projects such as Farmclub, iCast, and MP3.com have kept the band active and occupied.

The highlight this year has no doubt been LX's performances alongside bands like Papa Roach, Green Day, and LBDAS at the Anaheim Pond Warped Tour. Additionally, they performed for Metallica, KoRn, PM5K, & Kid Rock fans at the L.A. Coliseum Summer Sanitarium Tour. They also continue to open for national acts such as Brougham while their CD "Rated" fuels their promotional and equipment budget. But for the success hungry guys at LX, it's just the beginning.
