Follow-up to previous comment:

Further research indicates Exene Cervenka played the event "with a bassist and drummer" TBD. Source is reliable, was one of the organizers.

I have two reports that X played at the Hundredth Monkey event to protest nuclear tests at the Nuclear Test Site in Nevada in April 1992, either on the weekend of the 11th or 18th. I'm trying to confirm this. Does anyone know more?
