"The inspiration of Europe’s top two shopping capitals, The Ex-men are what happens when ten years of pop talent welcomes the occupant of a Montmartre attic back from self-imposed exile and takes him on a stroll down Sauchiehall Street. Matt Green and Jack Sims met in a previous incarnation in Stoke-on-Trent but are now a Glasgow outfit. Matt supplies the elecro ambience, bleepy drum and bass, funky guitar riffs and chemicals house, and Jack the cross-the channel, best-of-worlds/worst-of-worlds lyrics.
Playing both music and poetry venues over the last few months, The Ex-men have performed in Paris (giving an airing to some of their French language numbers such as C’est pas grave (see the myspace site), London (Shortfuse), Birmingham (ArtsFest), Edinburgh (busking @ the festival) and Glasgow (Localism, Pivo Pivo, Tchai Ovna…).
Next week they are in Glasgow @ The Underworld and the week after in Edinburgh @ The Beat Café Drop night (Nov 29, 8pm, The Queen Charlotte Rooms, 56a Queen Charlotte St, Leith)."
