- **Event Name**: The Ex, Zea, Ky Band
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 24 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: The Ex est un groupe résolument tourné vers l’avenir. Après plus de 45 ans d’existence et de réinvention constante, il refuse toute nostalgie, préférant explorer de nouvelles alliances et relever sans cesse des défis musicaux loin de toute zone de confort.

Issu des mouvements punk et squat de la fin des années 1970, The Ex est devenu une force indépendante et inclassable, se produisant dans plus de 45 pays et ouvrant la voie à des collaborations interculturelles marquantes, notamment avec des artistes éthiopien·ne·s. De retour sur les scènes internationales avec de nouvelles compositions et un nouvel album, If Your Mirror Breaks, le groupe continue d’incarner une musique vivante, collective et curieuse — en avant dans toutes les directions.

Zea / minimaliste, éclectique, avant-gardiste, poétique

Zea est le projet d'Arnold de Boer, né et élevé en Frise, et installé à Amsterdam. Sa musique est tantôt intimiste, sincère et poétique, tantôt d'une énergie débordante, urgente, obstinée et portée par un jeu de guitare syncopé et hypnotique. Arnold de Boer (Makkum, 1974) a fondé Zea en 1995. Il joue de la guitare, de la trompette, des synthétiseurs et des boîtes à rythmes, et chante en anglais ainsi qu'en frison, sa langue maternelle. En 2003, Zea est devenu un duo, et depuis 2009, Zea est le projet solo de De Boer. Il parcourt le monde entier à la rencontre d'un public curieux qui, même s'il ne comprend pas forcément les paroles, saisit le message, l'émotion et la poésie de ses chansons en frison.

Zea a donné plus de 2000 concerts dans plus de 40 pays, sur six continents. De Boer sort sa musique sur son propre label, Makkum Records. Il organise, programme, joue, enregistre, mixe, se produit, vend, masterise et écoute sa musique en toute indépendance de l'industrie musicale traditionnelle et continuera sur cette voie car il considère le monde de la musique comme un poison pour l'âme. Zea a collaboré avec des musiciens du monde entier. De Boer a rejoint le groupe underground néerlandais The Ex en 2009. Sa collaboration avec la star ghanéenne du kologo, King Ayisoba, a attiré l'attention du monde entier et ils tournent ensemble à travers le monde depuis 2012.

Zea est actuellement en tournée avec son dernier album, In lichem fol beloften (MR44), souvent accompagné d'un violoncelle, d'une batterie et d'une clarinette. Un album de remixes de son catalogue est sorti en 2024 sur le label allemand Krachladen - Dub Records.

Le groupe KY propose un punk noise-jazz expérimental évoquant la fin brutale du capitalisme, les corps désorganisés, les amours perdues et le savoir acquis. Composé de James Goddard (saxophone/électronique), Robyn Gray (guitare), Farley Miller (batterie) et Ky Brooks (chant/électronique), leur musique a été décrite comme une « odyssée punk marginale et inclassable »
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ex is a band resolutely focused on the future. After more than 45 years of existence and constant reinvention, they reject all nostalgia, preferring to explore new alliances and continually take on musical challenges far from any comfort zone. 

Emerging from the punk and squat movements of the late 1970s, The Ex has become an independent and unclassifiable force, performing in over 45 countries and paving the way for significant intercultural collaborations, notably with Ethiopian artists. Returning to the international stage with new compositions and a new album, If Your Mirror Breaks, the band continues to embody vibrant, collective, and inquisitive music—forward in every direction.

Zea / minimal, eclectic, strange-edge, poetic

Zea is Arnold de Boer, born and raised in Friesland, based in Amsterdam. His music is at times intimate, heart felt, poetic, at other times highly energetic, urgent, obstinate and driven on syncopating trance-like guitar play. Arnold de Boer (Makkum, 1974) started Zea as a band in 1995. He plays guitar, trumpet, synths and beat machines and sings in English as well as in his mother tongue Fries (Frisian). In 2003 Zea became a duo and since 2009 Zea is De Boers solo project. He tours all over the planet where he meets a curious audience that might not literally understand but does comprehend the message, feeling and poetry of his -frisian- songs.

Zea has played more than 2000 concerts in more than 40 different countries on six continents. De Boer releases his music on his own label called Makkum Records. He organises, books, plays, records, mixes, drives, sells, masters and listens completely independent from the main-stream music industry and will continue to do so since he believes the music business is like poison for the soul. Zea has been working with musicians from all over the world. De Boer joined Dutch underground band The Ex in 2009. His work with the Ghanaian kologo star King Ayisoba got world wide attention and they have toured around the world together since 2012.

Zea is now touring with his latest album In lichem fol beloften (MR44) often accompanied by cello, drums and clarinet. A remix album of his catalogue has been released in 2024 on German Krachladen - Dub Records.
