XXXaudio - The Band Denise Maupin: Vocals, guitar. Hails most recently from the Delusions, writes the basic format for all the songs, and comes from old school new wave and the indie side of things. Brian Burnside: Guitar, vocals. In the Bali girls for the most part of the 90's, Brian brings the swirly nonsensical but structured noises to XXXaudio. He comes from the depths of butt-rock heaven as a youth, into the heavy durge alternative world of the 80's, into now. Lee: Drums. Slice Kraft: Bass. Known as Brian Kraft when he was in Engine kid, he has also played bass in the Bali girls for a few years. His melodic side shines on the CD. Dan Infecto: Bass. The newest member since the post recording departure of Slice. Dan brings all that bass is supposed to be, solid and heavy. Dan hails from Me Infecto, Neo and Christopher Blue. The Story In mid 2001, Denise was on tour playing bass with The Delusions for the second year in a row, opening for Built to Spill. You would think that would be enough, but she yearned for something different. So in late 01, she gathered up some of her close friends and started pumping out her own songs. By the end of the year, with everyone on board, she quit the Delusions and put everything into XXXaudio. The end result was what can be best described as post punk melodic noise rock. Simple but slightly obscure. The Stranger/Jennifer Maerz says: "XXXaudio map out punchy rock songs that at times sound like the Pixies (in the guitars) and the darker elements of garage punk (in the murkier undertones of there music). The band is fronted by Denise Maupin, whose voice carries the project from pop anthems, to more melancholy rockers, swaggering between the two sides with confident range." As of now, they play whenever and whatever. They have had the pleasure of opening for some great bands such as X, Pretty Girls Make Graves and Bluebird to name a few. The new year brought the first full length Like Pumping Gas on Fire. If not for the need to get it out asap, they would probably still be in there mixing. The result is a raw live sound, recorded on 1" 16 track, with only a few little studio tricks (the audio part). The Future XXXaudio are driving hard and continuing to play and record as much as possible. They are already hard at work on the next recording project, an upcoming EP. Watch for it, and look for a chance to see them live! Check out the artist's website: http://www.triplexaudio.com Track List: 1. Rosaline 2. House of Cards 3. Reptile 4. Down Low 5.
