Sounds Like THE EX 2009 After 29 years G.W. Sok has decided to call it a day and not sing or tour with us anymore. After a long period of doubt and lengthy discussions he came to the conclusion that he had no longer enough enthusiasm for the complete Ex-undertaking. He wants to spend more time on writing and graphic design. He will continue to participate in Ex activities, one way or another. This year (2009) is the 30th anniversary of the Ex. And after having played 1371 concerts all over the planet, the Ex, sometimes described as 'experimental trance-dance avant-afro-punk improv music', appears again with a completely new program for the coming tour in march. And a new band member! For the coming tour in march (see ‘concerts’) we have invited Zea frontman Arnold de Boer to join us. One of our favourite musicians for many years now. We have worked together on The Ex 25-year Anniversary party 'The Convoy Tour'. Andy and Terrie also played with him last year may in Ethiopia and it worked a treat! Arnold will play samples, beats, guitar, vocals and anything he can get his hands on. Terrie and Andy will continue to explore their baritone guitars which appeared in the last set and Katherina will find some more inventive rhythms and hopefully sing some more beautiful tunes. Without doubt it is going to be an exciting new chapter in the Ex's history!

Without doubt it is going to be an exciting new chapter in the Ex's history! EX HISTORY “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.”

"Confusion Is Next embody everything I look for in musicians; passionate, intelligent and talented; people who perform purely for the joy of performing; and this comes across in the music they produce, a return to the glory days of Alternative Rock [...] Great music should trigger a response from the listener and Confusion Is Next’s song writing possesses this quality" ~ Barry Rogers, LostChildren Netlabel / Loss Of A Child

"CIN have struck a balance between the raw, loud sound that dominated their first two releases and the melodic, dynamic sound that began to appear in "Lost in Dark Days" [...] In just a few years, CIN have matured into a confident band who seem to have a clear vision of exactly where they want to go." ~ Michael Gregoire, blocSonic.com

Visages pâles, nous avons craint de voir nos peaux brunir au soleil et nous sommes retournés à l’ombre des cavernes, pourtant frileux, nus sous l’abîme de l’apparence, ouvrant nos béances à la solitude.

Nous avons recouvert de nos mains nos yeux, comme si c’étaient eux qui nous auraient permis de voir, comme si nous ignorions que cela viendrait de quelque part en nous de plus profond et de plus sensible.

Visages pâles, nous ne savions plus déchiffrer les rêves, ni lire dans le vol des oiseaux la venue de l’orage mais nous pouvions transpercer le ciel, nous mouvoir plus vite que le son, vivre et mourir sans avoir pris soin de nos âmes.

Nous pensions avoir évité le chaos, de n’en avoir, pour certains d’entre nous, même pas ressenti la secousse, de n’avoir pas été ébranlés et au bout, de n’avoir que des questions existentielles pour nourrir nos appétits, pour justifier nos élans chromosomiques, pour décrocher de la matière.

Visages pâles, voulant toujours éviter le pire et remettant à plus loin, dans l’ailleurs, les rites de nos barbaries, nos maisons restaient closes mais nous n’étions plus aux aguets.

Nous étions si domestiqués qu’à ravaler nos rages, des dents de lait ornaient encore nos bouches et que nous titubions, alors même que nous pensions courir.

Visages pâles, de la décadence de nos civilisations, nous n’entendions que le roulis lointain des conséquences et nous appelions « lendemains » ces jours qui s’effeuillaient sans évidence, qui tombaient un à un, sans poids et sans consistance, qui repoussaient.

Why? myspace
The addictive antidote for onedimensional hip hop. The ultimate mixture between indie pop, electronics en avanthop!

the Burning hell myspace
Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes rock, sometimes roll. Always folk, never anti. Quirky? Maybe. Cute? Never. Combining happy little melodies and depressing Old World fatalism, the music of The Burning Hell is sure to make you smile and want to give up.

We rate this gig 5_stars stars on the scale of awesomeness!
