The Ex-Bombers Bio : All about thee fabulous rock n roll duo!

The Ex-Bombers are a fabulous garage rock duo from Illinois, USA who have been electrifying stages and turntables since 2010. Armed with an 8 string electric bass, drums, and two wrecking ball voices, this psychedelic pair extraordinaire brings their wickedly clever and catchy songs to their notorious live performances and intoxicating vinyl releases. These grandchildren of “Nuggets” are the only band to appear both on PBS television and as the theme song to the number one professional wrestling podcast in the world. They combine the garage / punk / psychedelic sounds and energies of 1966 with the attitude, catchiness, and style of 1970s glam and glitter into primal pop hooks, unforgettable frenetic performances, and the type of honesty that only a funhouse mirror can provide.

The Ex-Bombers have been a cult band in the making since their debut in a “venue” called the Snake Pit (a townhouse garage) back in 2010 where the decidedly non-punk pair dressed in all black ripped out a set of scintillating originals, perverted versions of covers, and let a pre-recorded VHS tape take the place of banter between songs. Everyone became lost in a shared moment. Curious looks turned to dedicated followers.

Since that show, Keri "Kitty" Cousins (drums / vocals) and S.M. Nancy Walus (8-string bass / vocals) have taken their music to the people by playing anywhere with a power outlet at clubs, bars, breweries, festivals, art spaces, and even three weddings (Catholic, Pagan, and non-denominational for those keeping track). Their songs have also been played on over 400 radio stations in 33 countries on such notable programs as "Sound Opinions" ("He's a Bad, Bad Man" was named the #1 hot song of Summer 2025 by legendary rock critic Jim DeRogatis), the Mike Rogers show, Estación Rock, The Hard, Heavy & Hair Show, Whole Lotta Shakin’, Bont, Mr Rocks Show, Voix de Garage, Elastic Glam, Strike the Box!, and dozens of incredible garage / psych / punk / glam specialty shows.

To date, the pair have put out six vinyl releases including multiple long players (“The Tightwire” [2012] / “Five Star Night” [2015] / “New Love Is Easy” [2021]) and 7” releases ("At the Demon Mart" [2024], "Monofesto Vol. 2" [2018], Anti-single [2013]). They annually release a Fan Club record, have written and recorded theme songs for the top-rated pro wrestling podcast in the world ("The Jim Cornette Experience"), a best-selling comedy horror book series (24/7 Demon Mart by D.M. Guay), and a fantasy saga ("Gates of Divinity" by Al Lytle), and their song "He's a Bad, Bad Man" is used by the Jeremiah Plunkett as his ring entrance music for Billy Corgan's Naional Wrestling Alliance. Each was recorded completely analog in the spirit of 1967 to open reel tape without a single digital component.

The Ex-Bombers continue to dedicate themselves to the craft of being musicians, chasing sounds, and writing songs that describe a kaleidoscope existence that is anything but vanilla. They love their sprawling record collection and vow to continue making music for people who used to love music and who want to love music again.
