Near Death Experience (NDX)

Near Death Experience (NDX) are a four-piece band from Ealing, London. They formed in 2016 and began writing songs and performing across the UK capital. Starting with the ‘new band’ venues in North and East London, NDX established a reputation for powerful, emotive live performances and a "shimmering psyche-tinged rock and soul" sound, securing a spot on one of Glastonbury 2017's smaller stages.

The Last Summer EP was launched in 2017, with the title track Summer played by BBC Introducing. Moving on from London's new band scene, NDX set up Ealing Live in September 2018 to encourage new and original live music in West London, hosting regular nights in local pubs as an alternative to the purpose-built new band London venues with no passing trade.

A host of new bands have since played Ealing Live, including Tall Poppies, The Family Dog, Lola Aviva, and more… Each act receives a flat free for playing and the pubs and locals have loved being introduced to new and exciting music. This led to NDX hosting the Ealing Oxjam Festival in June 2019, which raised hundreds of pounds for Oxfam – again with lots of new bands on the bill.

NDX spent 2018 working on their first album Mouth to Mouth, which was released on 12 July 2019 on the Charisma Bypass record label, pre-empting their opening slot at the Ealing Blues Festival on 20 July 2019. The rest of 2019 was spent writing and recording a new album for release in 2020, with NDX also hosting more Ealing Live gigs.
