About Us

Not Your Ex Lover (NYXL) is a Latina, femme, glitter-rock band based in
Bend, Oregon. Their music tells the story of love and heartbreak with a
grunge-pop vibe - and lots of sparkle. The band was formed in the high
desert in Central Oregon in 2022, bringing together Kourtni (lead
vocals, lyricist, and rhythm guitar), Julie (lead guitar and violin),
Reya (bass and vocals), and KiKi (drums). NYXL began their journey in a
neon-lit garage, where late-night jam sessions shaped their sound and
strengthened their sisterhood. After a year of experimentation and selfdiscovery, they emerged with a powerful style that channels the truth of
their experiences alongside the joy and playfulness of their
aspirations. Follow Not Your Ex Lover on Instagram and Tiktok to get a glimpse into what it means to be "Not Your Ex Lover". For more ways to support, click here
