A Dream Come True

Yesterday, several members of AUX attended the Nine Inch Nails/Jane's Addiction show at the Comcast Center (formerly Great Woods) in Mansfield, MA, in support of not only Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction but also their long time friend, Dan Cleary (from Grace & Manners), who is currently on tour with Jane's Addiction as Dave Navarro's guitar tech.

Dan has been a Nails fan for almost two decades and saw them for the first time at this same venue back in the early nineties. At that time, he dreamed of one day playing on that same stage with Nine Inch Nails. Yesterday, that dream came true as he was invited on stage by Trent Reznor to join them for 'Wish'.

It's truly amazing to watch someone's dream come true right in front of your eyes.

THANKS TRENT & NIN AND CONGRATULATIONS DAN!!!

Members of AUX participate in Boston Cares fundraiser

Yesterday, several members of AUX, along with some good friends, participated in the Boston Cares "Dash for a Difference" fundraiser. What a perfect day for such an event!

The fundraiser is a sort of community service scavenger hunt. Each participating team is given a clue at the beginning that leads them to their first destination where they discover what community service task they'll be performing there. Upon completion of the task, they're given a new clue leading them to their next destination and next task.

Since the tasks are spread throughout the city, most teams travel in cars. However, in a continuing celebration of Earth Day, our team, The Spokespeople, decided to take the fundraiser a step further and make it a completely green one; we completed all of the tasks on bicycles! Needless to say considering the gorgeous weather, we're all a little sunburned!

We had a great time and we want to thank Boston Cares for putting together such a great event!

Our fundraising page will remain active for a little while past the event so if you'd like to make a donation in support of this cause, please visit our team page to donate.

Members of AUX attend City on a Hill fundraiser

Yesterday, several members AUX attended City on a Hill's "Happy Hour" fundraiser in support of City on a Hill Charter Public School in Roxbury. Here's a bit about them from their website:

City on a Hill Charter Public School, a public high school in urban Boston, emphasizes academic achievement, citizenship, teacher leadership, and public accountability.

We seek to graduate responsible, resourceful, and respectful democratic citizens prepared to advance community, culture and commerce, and to compete in the 21st century.

If you'd like to join us in supporting this school, it's teachers, and most of all it's students, please visit their website at www.cityonahill.org and click on the "Get Involved" link.

AUX heads into the studio

We are currently taking a break from live shows to focus on recording our new EP!

The CD release party is scheduled for August 22nd at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA. Ticket information will be posted as soon as we have it. We strongly recommend getting tickets ahead of time as the show may sell out early.

We'll be posting more updates as we make progress on the new record.
