After touring with the legendary band X for 20 shows, John Doe has nothing but kind words to speak. Check it out!

"So X flies to Detroit & begins a 20 show tour w/ The Detroit Cobras. WOW,
those women are bad asses. I could probably take 'em in a fair fight but
most likely they would have a razor stashed in their boot or some scary
boyfriend around the corner. Kidding ! ! . . . sort of. they are an
astonishing band that delivered every night and should be much more famous
than they are."

-John Doe
