The band found affinity in Dutch anarchist group The Ex , whom they’d been introduced to through members of Chumbawamba . The Ex and Dog Faced Hermans toured Europe, the United States, and Canada together and released the single Lied Der Steinklopfer / Stonestampers Song under the name Ex Faced Hermans. They also released a split live cassette and began a longstanding collaboration with the free jazz ensemble Instant Composers Pool . Dog Faced Hermans also served as the backing band for Kurdish musician Brader, with whom The Ex had also collaborated. By 1990, the band had relocated to Amsterdam , taking on The Ex’s sound engineer Gert Jan as a member of the group. In 1991, Andy Moor joined The Ex, and for some years played guitar for both bands simultaneously.
