Auxes is the brainchild of Dave Laney, also known as guitarist and founding member of the bands Milemarker and Challenger. Initially conceived as a solo project, the first Auxes LP, “Sunshine” (Lovitt Records, 2008) was an impressive display of multi-instrumental virtuosity, with Dave handling all instruments and even engineering the recording himself.
Auxes’ second LP, “Ichkannnichtmehr” (Gunner Records, 2010) represents a shift in approach and in the life of its principal protagonist. In mid 2009, Dave Laney made the move overseas, now residing in his newly adopted hometown of Hamburg, Germany. Musically, this has resulted in a stripped-down, aggressive punk rock sound- fitting for a city where cop cars are routinely set on fire.
