Tuesday 16 November, 19:00Café de la Danse, 75011 [map]The Ex, Anne-James Chaton
Formed in 1979, Dutch avant garde troupe
The Ex have woven themselves a complex musical mesh over the years, embracing free jazz, noise, improv, punk, rock and ethnic elements. The result is a dynamic, furious mix of discordant, rhythmic guitars, caustic vocals and almost tribal drummming. The start of this year, which marks the bands 30th anniversary, saw the departure of long-time vocalist G.W. Sok, and subsequent replacement by
Zea frontman Arnold de Boer.
The band are joined tonight by sound poet
Anne-James Chaton.
