Above: Legendary punk-rockers X perform four consecutive nights at the Roxy Theatre — part of their annual “A Family X-Mas Tour.” The shows, with Mike Watt & the Secondmen supporting, are headlined “Support Billy Zoom,” the band’s guitarist who revealed in July that he had been diagnosed with bladder cancer and has been undergoing treatment since. The big X news is that Zoom plans to rejoin the quartet for this month’s holiday shows. As of today, tickets remained for three of the four Roxy nights.
