Episode Details

Photographer Michael Hyatt’s new book and exhibition, “X: On the Road & At the Crossroads, 1980-2024,” offers a raw, intimate portrait of the legendary L.A. punk band X—captured over four decades from their explosive rise to their final tour. Starting right after their debut album, Hyatt drove their tour van, snapped candid backstage moments, and immortalized their unfiltered energy—from rooftop vistas to gritty club scenes. His lens caught not just their sound but their soul, including the grief of Exene Cervenka’s sister before a pivotal show and the serendipitous reunion of fans who first dated at an X concert in ’80. Joining Hyatt at the Beyond Baroque exhibition on September 5th is Cervenka herself for a reading, making this more than a photo retrospective—it’s a living history of punk’s enduring heartbeat.
