XCES is a modular band/artistic collective bringing an audiovisual spectacle of post-genre age with an emphasis on topics such as information overload, social alienation, mental health, meme culture, meta-irony and Al.

XCES label themselves as post-genre and post-authorship collective. Upon closer inspection their debut and current shows drift through electronica, doom metal, experimental rap, cinematic soundscape, up to drone and noise territory. This speculative polystylism seems to presents itself as both a tribute and a parody of the member's current favourite sonic adventures.

The result of debut "IT'S HAPPENING" is a kind of "dystopian shuffle playlist" which, paired with the visuals, starts to take hints of linear storytelling inspired by the pandemic period, technological progress, mental health struggles and conspiracy/echo chamber traps of recent times. But at the same time they always seem to turn the card towards humor and absurdity of any situation.

As a modular band/collective they currently operate in three forms: XCES liveset - duo made of vocals +guitar/bass and electronics. Expect songs from their debut, but also j a m m i n g and experimenting extensively including also remixes/mashups etc. Ideal for smaller venues. 30-90 min.

XCES - full band (drums, bass, guitar, vocals, electronics) performing their debut in entirety. Inludes lightshow (if possible LED screen) and sound engineer with additional tech support (8 people in total).Ideal for bigger venues and especially festivals. 45 min
