For 25 years the singular band The Ex has performed at The Bimhuis, which is celebrated with a new live album and special guest including saxophone innovator John Butcher. The Ex have defied categorization ever since they started playing in 1979. The band from Wormer has retained curiosity and passion for music. Departing from a line-up with guitars, bass, drums and voice The Ex continued to musically explore undiscovered areas right up to the present day. The musicians from The Ex have been regulars at the Bimhuis for years, first as visitors and improvised music aficionados and later as a band and with countless collaborative projects. The double album The Ex at Bimhuis (1991-2015) gives an impression of 25 years of performances at the Bimhuis. Its release is celebrated with a special concert with guest appearances by Ethiopian band Fendika, master reedists John Butcher and Ken Vandermark and Holland’s most adventurous drummer Han Bennink. ‘Staying a bird, staying independent, free if you will, for three decades, that takes skill and something else, something more like heart’ (music journalist John Corbett on The Ex).
