Los Angeles’ flagship punk band X, featuring now-Austin resident John Doe, blow into town on what they’ve declared is their final tour, promoting their final studio LP, the excellent Smoke & Fiction. Ironically, X will be rocking the art deco splendor of the Paramount, down the street from the former East Fourth location of New Wave stronghold Club Foot, where they began their Austin love affair on Nov. 17 and 18, 1982. The Paramount is considerably upmarket from Club Foot, but X will play as furiously as they did then. Squirrel Nut Zippers singer/songwriter Jimbo Mathus opens. – Tim Stegall
