Get set to do a frenzy of air punching: The Ex is hitting the European trail. Don't be mad, USA...at least you had them last December. You can't win them all, right? Europe, on the other hand, should be stoked. These guys (and gal) are stellar, and definitely worth your time and Euros. So hop on a train, in a SmartCar, hike, bike, whatever, just get yourself to the shows.
One other note - The Ex have a DVD coming out on Touch and Go this year. It's called Building a Broken Mousetrap, and was made by the incomparable Jem Cohen. More info as it comes in. Stay tuned.
