As the vocalist and lyricist for the seminal Los Angeles rock band X, Exene Cervenka has rightfully established her reputation as a performer and writer of extraordinary conviction and skill. X, whose first two albums, "Los Angeles" and "Wild Gift", were released to wide critical acclaim - "Wild Gift" being named Rock Album of the Year by both the Los Angeles Times and New York Times - were among the chief architects of the Los Angeles punk sound. During her hiatus from X, Cervenka released two records - "Old Wives' Tales" and "Running Sacred" - which demonstrated her talents as a solo performer.

In 1982, Cervenka co-authored "Adulterers' Anonymous" with Lydia Lunch and has since self published two books, "Poetry Loves Poetry" and "Thought For Food", prior to her first book with 2.13.61 Publications, "Virtual Unreality". As a spoken word performer, she has also appeared on various audio recordings including "English as a Second Language" (a spoken word compilation), "Two Sisters" (with poet Wanda Coleman), and "Cause" (a benefit compilation for the pro-choice organization Rock For Choice).

In 1992, Cervenka, along with award winning photojournalist Kenneth Jarecke, published "Just Another War" - a somber examination of the Persian Gulf War by means of Cervenka's poetry and Jarecke's photographs, and in 1993, she released "Virtual Unreality".

Surface To Air Serpents marks the first full length spoken word release for Exene Cervenka.
