Wow! has it really been 2 years since we put up any news? Crazy!
X27 was in low production mode as Carmen and Rikkeh X have been busy with other projects. The 2 most popular releases are Dex Zain Drujack in 2008 and Lilou Serena Francis in spring of 2011. They are awesum!

<-- This is Oran's book. He used to play drums with X27. We love him and his book is really good. You should read it.
It's called Long Past Stopping. It tells the story of his life. Believe me, he's had a very interesting existence.

We mourn the loss of our dear friend Drew Goren. He was a great father, photographer, and friend. He will be missed.
This past summer Carmen and Rikkeh X had started a band with Drew called THIS. It got nowhere because we had too much fun hanging out together. Drew always had great stories and he lived every moment to the fullest. We cannot convey how much we will miss him.
Drew had been battling cancer for the past few years and has left behind his long-time girlfriend, Julia, and his six year old daughter, Nina. Donations can be given for them at http://inmemoryofdrewgoren.blogspot.com/.

Big Surprise!! Today I turned on the telly and saw Sean Greathead demonstrating green screen technology on the Sundance Channel.
In case you've forgotten, Sean is the person X27 took to Europe in 2004 to play drums for them. He was already famous for designing and painting Garbage Pail Kids cards.
What will he do next?

We are broken hearted about the destruction in the Mississippi Delta.
As you may know, Rikkeh is from this area. He was born and raised in Southern Louisiana and Mississippi. His immediate family is safe. But many of our friends and family members have yet to be heard from. Communication is almost completely cut off to the area, but we believe most everyone is safe. We are all tore up. The loss of personal property doesn't matter as long as lives are safe.
If it is within your means to help our people, please help.
