“The Ex started in 1979 and developed over the years into a melting-pot of divergent
musical styles: noise, rock, jazz, improvisation, and ethnic music have been interweaved
under one unique umbrella: ‘Ex-music’. Discordant, highly rhythmic guitars and the rolling, the almost African drumming style and the furious delivery of the often sarcastic lyrics give the music of The Ex its special character.
In 27 years The Ex played 1,250 concerts all over Europe, Northern America and Africa,
and made over 20 CD-albums.
The Ex is continuously in development, and always open for new ideas and collaborations with people of all kinds, people who’s spirit inspires and appeals to the group. Through the years the main principle remained; to make music with heart and soul, out of reach of commercial trends or expectations.
Their motto, still: forward, in every possible direction.”
