From the ashes of the Butchies (Melissa York) and Gerty! (Shirlé Hale and David K) comes the dark, drum machine-rocking anthems of Ex-Members. Thumping beat-maker Melissa York creates the frame for David K's angular post-punk guitar sounds that stretch across to give Shirlé Hale's smoky vocals and pounding bass a surface to create a ferocious electro-rock party vibe.
Their thrilling debut EP, "xoex_ep" includes three original chunky, sexy, buzzed-up songs that will stand up against the best party songs this summer.
"It's a dance-rock party that would fit in nicely between LeTigre and the Gossip, only Hale's low, smoky vocals are more like Chrissie Hynde..."

All night long. ALl night long. All night all night all night long. You guys had an amazing party. And I'm sure we'll remember it some day. We adore you.
I have a confession to make. We've been superficial Myspace friends for a while now, but it was only today that I actually listened to your songs. All I can say is, gosh, wow, I like them--a lot. Keep bringing the rock...er, I mean electro-pop. K?
guess who's name I saw in Venus Zine? Cat Power! nah, ok. though I saw that name, I was much, MUCH more excited to see yours! voldermort can't stop...the rock! ^_^
