Formed in late 2021 in Bristol, Ex Agent initially bonded over a mutual appreciation of artists like The Lounge Lizards, This Heat and Movietone. Taking inspiration from free-jazz, New York no-wave, gonzo journalism, and Film Noir, the project weaves elements of performance art through their live performance, making a reputation for themselves across the Bristol DIY/experimental scene. These live shows have earnt them slots performing alongside the likes of Drahla, Moin, and Dame Area, as well as a night curated by fellow Bristol experimenters, Squid. Other notable shows include festival slots at Simple Things, Ritual Union and Outer Town, as well as participating in a one-of-a-kind improvisational performance alongside experimental-rock legends Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), and the late Mark Stewart (The Pop Group) at The Cube Microplex in 2022. Earlier this year, the band returned to The Cube for another intimate show with powerhouse Deb Googe (My Bloody Valentine/Thurston Moore Group). Presented by The Beauty Witch. This is an 18+ event
