Music Thursdays: The Ex-Bombers – He’s A Bad, Bad Man

Welcome to the Music Thursdays segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Music Thursdays will feature music related content. Music Thursdays will feature an artist or band and their latest song and / or music video. People love music, and we here at Geek Alabama love featuring artists and bands!

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 (the “Jim Cornette Experience”). 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.

• Reached #48 on the Radio Indie Alliance charts
• Played on 400+ radio stations in 33 countries
• Featured as pro wrestler Jeremiah Plunkett’s ring entrance music at Billy Corgan’s National Wrestling Alliance.
• The Ex-Bombers played Jeremiah Plunkett to the ring live at the inaugural Pro Wrestling Symphony event in Nashville, TN and will be featured in an upcoming wrestling storyline.

This song is dirty, sleazy, and oh so catchy; everything that a great rock song should be. So it made perfect sense when professional wrestler Jeremiah Plunkett (the National Wrestling Alliance Mid America champion) started using it as his ring entrance music. When it came time to make a music video, The Ex-Bombers reached out to Plunkett, who had been using the song at all of his matches for Billy Corgan’s National Wrestling Alliance. The result is a wild and compelling New Hollywood style story shot in the dirty streets of Murfreesboro, TN about the actions of one bad, bad man.

“Ex-Bombers is a duo, on 8-string bass Nancy Walus and on drums Kitty, or Keri Cousins. Boy are they fantastic. It’s a wonderful sleazy, skanky, blues-y, psychedelic, kind of garage rock with a lot of melody, and a lot of attitude. They like to do it the way it was recorded in ‘66 at the height of the Nuggets era…. It’s a great song.” – Jim DeRogatis (“Sound Opinions” – Nationally syndicated show on 150 U.S. stations with two legendary music critics).
