The Ex Towels [New Songs Up!]

Life for The Ex Towels began in September 2007, when Joe, Scott and J.S.K were placed by fate (or the housing people) in the same student accommodation. Upon discovering each others musical "talent" they started to play music together. But one thing was missing...a drummer.
So, one Halloween, whilst generally ignoring the festivities, our intrepid trio set out on a mission, armed only with binbags, a balaclava and a knackered acoustic guitar, playing what was to become their best known song, "Lazy Bastard", to the occasional pissed up group of students. This continued until someone recommended a drummer from just across the way, a Miss Naomi Motteram. Then came the name.
Originally, the name which united the group was "Nizamuddin and His Magic Bag Of Towels", for reasons best known to the band. Then, one fateful evening, at the bands first gig at Greens in Sunderland, the name was shortened by a lazy DJ to The Towels. It stuck.
Over the next year, the began playing gigs to full rooms of cheering fans, mainly people they knew. One such person they knew was a Mr Tommy Outing, who is now a close friend of the band, and operates as security for them, because their popularity is so great that they must be protected at all times.
This period also saw the recording of the first E.P, What Happened To The Towels? But this begs the question, what did happen to The Towels? What prompted such a drastic name change?
One evening, as Joe and Scott discussed the future of the band, they recieved an email from another band, also named The Towels, threatening legal action if our heroes kept their name. And so the group was launched into debate. What on earth could replace the name that had earned them so many adoring fans, so much fame? Eventually, the decision was made. The Ex Towels were born.
You may be thinking to yourself, "Was this the end of the troubles faced by this poor group?"
If only...
Later that year, artistic differences arose between certain members of the band, which led in the eventual resigning of Naomi. What were they to do? Luckily, the man for the job was just round the corner, up the road, left a bit, in Flat 113. Peter McHugh was that man.
After recruiting Pete to take over Naomi's duties on drums, the band were revitalised, writing new material and playing with more vigour than ever before. The band have recently completed their as yet untitled second E.P, Doesn't Even Taste Good, which is available to listen to now! EXCITING!
So that's about it really, in a nutshell.
