About Me



Ex-magnolia is an anglophilic and anglophonic indie rock band based in Lyon, France, even though the singer now lives in Avignon, which is not very convenient as far band life is concerned. The band was formed as Magnolia in may 2000, and took their name from the wonderful movie by Paul Thomas Anderson. The ex- was added in 2005 in order to differentiate ourselves from an homonymic band. By the time The World Will Never Know (an EP produced by Scalde) was released and the band started playing live again in october 2005, it was obvious: ex-magnolia was more than just a new name, it was almost a new band complete with a violin player added for beatlesque purposes and the same singer with a brand new way of singing. Violin player Geoff left the band in septembre 2006 and was replaced by Alice who made her first appearance with the band in april 2007... No more music was recorded except rehearsal takes. ex-magnolia played live live for the last in march 2008 and finally called it a day in september of that year.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it...

Does it make a sound? And if a band plays to an empty room, have they been making music at all? And was it any good?We need new recordings, or it's like the songs doesn't exist.
