What About the Ex-Boyfriends?
This group is brought together by a desire to rock and roll, with the different members recognizing in each other an expedient to that purpose. What is in must, at times, come out, and this is how things are handled.
But far from merely playing for their own satisfaction, The Ex-Boyfriends approach their own music knowing it will help others.
With these rigorous ethics in place, The Ex-Boyfriends have been doing their part, headlining their own rock 'n' roll shakedowns and playing with like-hearted do-gooders like Royal Trux, DTK/MC5, Mudhoney, The Lazy Cowgirls, Nikki Sudden and Les Savy Fav, as well as getting it out there on record:
