X Band’s Raw Rise Through Hyatt’s Lens | California News
Description
Photographer Michael Hyatt’s raw, intimate lens captured X’s explosive rise in 1980s L.A. punk—documenting their chaotic tours, emotional highs, and gritty authenticity. Now, his candid photos are showcased in a new book and exhibition opening September 5 at Beyond Baroque, featuring a live reading with Exene Cervenka. Hyatt’s philosophy? Let the subjects forget they’re being filmed—that’s when magic happens. From post-tragedy resilience to headlining the Greek Theatre, his images preserve X’s unique voice in the L.A. scene—and even include fans who saw them debut in ’80. The exhibit runs through October 17, offering a rare, visceral look into punk’s most iconic band.
