Kathy X was formed in Berlin 2002 by UK guitarist and singer-songwriter Kathy Freeman, veteran of many punk, rock and psychobilly bands, including the Accelerators, The Birdhouse and Death Valley Surfers.

The core members were Kathy Freeman and Rob Raw, who had also played with Mad Sin, and was a founder member of cult old-school psychobillies The Rawheads. From 2002-2006, former US session musician Dave Crome (sideman for Bo Diddley, Del Shannon, Wolfman Jack and Danny and the Juniors) occupied the drumstool. Thomas Block, Tom Peterson and Felix Burkhardt each played drums at various times after Dave Crome returned to the US.

In 2004 Kathy X recorded CD album Ready For Anything for the Polish label Cosmic Records.
Various online releases followed, also a double A-side Vinyl Release (Fluch der Pharaohnen/No Tomorrow) in 2011, and CD compilation album All the Way in 2013

Kathy X ceased to gig and record in 2014, but Kathy Freeman is still actively performing and promoting Kathy X repertoire.

While Kathy X's music is rooted in rockabilly and psychobilly, the subject matter of many of the songs are not necessarily typical of these genres and the arrangements and hooklines reflect a more mainstream, crossover sound.
