Biography

The band was discovered on the CBS morning TV show The Early Show when they submitted a video for a segment entitled "Living Room Live" and came in second place. Their success on The Early Show drew the attention of managers Spencer Proffer and Doc McGhee (Kiss, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi), who signed the band.[1] Crooked X have opened for classic rock acts such as Kiss, Ted Nugent, and Alice Cooper,[2] as well as playing with Black Stone Cherry, Skid Row, and George Bush. On January 15, 2009, they performed a two-song set on The Jimmy Kimmel Show.

The band gained heavy attention by having their songs featured in the music video game series Rock Band - "Nightmare" was first featured in Rock Band, after which "Rock 'N' Roll Dream" and "Gone", respectively, were made available as downloadable content for the series.[3] Spencer and Doc have produced a TV-special on the band ("Rock N' Roll Dream"), showing the band's progression from four young boys in a garage to ending up in Rock Band and opening for Kiss, in front of 35,000 fans in Stockholm, Sweden.

Their first EP, "Till We Bleed", was released on iTunes on October 7, 2008.[citation needed]

Their self-titled debut was released on iTunes on January 27, 2009,[4] the same day the band's special "Rock 'N' Roll Dream", the lead single, aired on MTV.[5]

They toured in the spring of 2009, appearing on the Ernie Ball side stage tour.

As of June 2010, frontman Forrest French, the Lead Vocalist and rhythm guitarist, parted ways with Crooked X, as did bassist Josh McDowell. The band, which has not performed since September 2009, has been auditioning new members.
