After a solid 13 hours of: “tik, tik, tik, tik, tik, tik, tik, tik”, “play it again Chad”, “sorry for hitting the mic” and a gazillion litres of water consumed … my semi-average drum tracks are now complete. Now, where’s the deep heat?
Six piece Auxilla, merge sounds from post-rock, dance rock and indie influences. These Adelaide boys love their music, and love an excited crowd even more. Since entering the Adelaide music scene early 2010, their live acts have continued to impress as a result of their diverse sound and entertaining performances and they have recently shared the stage with World’s End Press (Melb) and Foals (UK).
Influences are drawn from artists such as This Will Destroy You, Foals, Mogwai, The Cribs, Vampire Weekend, Justice, Moving Mountains, Serj Tankin, Steve Vai, John Frusciante, Rage Against The Machine, Explosions In The Sky, Dream Theatre, System of a Down, Pink Floyd, The Decemberists and Sigur Ros.
With a shared passion for instrumental musicianship, music that tugs at your emotions, just the right amount of ear-teasing breakdowns, sing-along vocals and a lights show to boot… you’ll probably find yourself dancing like nobody’s watching (or at least doing that hipster head and shoulder swing).
