Indie-rock buzz band Ex Norwegian formed in 2008 and found themselves performing at the CMJ Music Marathon only months after their first gig. Their debut full-length entitled Standby will be released March 17, 2009 on Dying Van Gogh Records. Originally from the thriving melting pot scene brewing in Miami, it is nearly impossible to place the sound of the quartet geographically. The bands chief singer/songwriter Roger Houdaille adds insight to the groups quick start. It happened very organically and slightly unplanned ext thing we knew we were getting radio play and actually felt a bit of a demand for an album. So off we went!* Houdaille, who also plays guitar in the band, is joined by high school friend Carolina Souto on bass, Arturo Garcia on drums, and Billie G. on guitar.

Ex Norwegians choice of band name usually demands some explanation* its curious origin is from a Monty Python episode; as does their album title. Standby started off as an inside joke but soon found a deeper meaning in todays political climate. A handful of songs on the disc are political in nature, despite Houdailles allegations: tried to avoid writing blatantly political songs, but a few made it onto the album, including, My Name Is Paul, which is dedicated to former World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz.
