X June 2, 2008

X were the quintessential Los Angeles punk rockers before they grew into a world-class rock and roll band and live band. However, enthusiasm for their unique, intelligent and humorous work never quite reached critical mass. The Detroit Cobras are a garage-rock revival band formed in 1995 by guitarist Steve Shaw. Shaw recruited fellow Detroiters Maribel Restrepo on guitar, Jeff Meyer on bass and Damian Lang on drums to fill out the instrumental lineup, with ex-butcher and exotic dancer Rachel Nagy handling the vocals.
