Something Like Sound

A memento from their final show that now hangs on my kitchen wall

As an update to a story covered earlier, Vaux has posted the live recording of their final concert from July 2007. I was at the Bluebird that night to see what Westword called the “Best Show to Rip the Still-Beating Heart Right Out of Your Chest.” While the recording may not do that night its proper justice, it is still a must-download.

Vaux was one of those bands that had the makings of a break-out success. Their recorded albums and EPs were polished and punchy. Their live set was an experience. With lights flashing and 3-guitarists, they always managed to bring down the house. For those who want to re-live those days, there’s something new from the Vaux camp. Just yesterday Greg Daniels began posting old bootlegs on the Vaux MySpace blog. This does beg the question: “When will we hear their final, unreleased EP?” a few tracks have surfaced in the time since their break-up, but still no full EP. In the meantime we’ve got these recordings.
