Dutch punks the Ex have scheduled a two-week tour of the U.S. for December, and they've recruited DJ Rupture, Aloha, and new Thrill Jockey signees Arbouretum to support them.

Ex guitarist (but not ex-guitarist) Andy Moor is also the music director and sound designer for Wings of Desire, a play based on the Wim Wenders film of the same name. It's "about the borders, visible and invisible, that divide us," according to the website of the American Repertory Theatre, the Cambridge, Massachusetts location where the Wings will run from November 25 to December 17.
