Auxes

Chapel Hill, North Carolina's AUXES throw their hat into the ring with SUNSHINE, an album that builds on the town's penchant for driving, emotion-propelled indie rock. The hat being thrown unquestionably belongs to Dave Laney, guitarist and creative force behind NC/Chicago bands MILEMARKER and CHALLENGER. In 2005, Laney relocated from the windy city back to North Carolina, where he set up a home recording studio and began pursuing his particular creative vision.

After playing with a cross-section of the town's most creative musicians (including members of FIN FANG FOOM, BELLAFEA, and EAGLE BRAVO), Dave decided to go the solo path: SUNSHINE, the band's first full-length CD/LP, features Laney playing virtually all the instruments with power and precision. Mixed by Brian Paulson (Slint, Archers of Loaf, Wilco, Beck, Dinosaur Jr.). The album will be out in the Summer of 2008. A new all-star NC line-up (featuring members of FIN FANG FOOM , CALTROP, BEN DAVIS, and CHALLENGER) is ready to hit the road in support.
