Occasionally Gröûp X plays live shows in a club called "Swayze's" in Georgia. They have a distinct style of speaking and writing which often explodes into a comic exaggeration of the heavy metal umlaut. They have produced two albums, 40 oz. Slushie, and Stepping on the Crowtche owf Your Americain Presidainte; the latter features better/remastered versions of songs from the first together with some new songs. They contain humorous rap and rock songs, together with prank calls in the same manner of the Jerky Boys. Guest vocalists on the albums include White Chocolate and Danny Advantage. There is also a separate single, "Come Arabian", which references a now-defunct morning show on WNNX, an Atlanta radio station. Much information about the band that is usually hidden from the public can be found through the archives of their mailing list, which can be accessed through the Contact page on the official website.
