Aux Raus

Aux Raus (2003 - 2011) were an Amsterdam based techno punk band consisting of Bastiaan Bosma and Luuk Bouwman. Their idea was simple: to mix the urgency and energy of classic punk rock with contemporary techno and gabber. Songs were written on two drum machines, a shredded guitar and an old computer resulting in a high voltage mix of punk riffage, crowd moving techno beats and pop sensibilities. Capturing the spirit of the alcoholic dance parties and the dirt of punk shows Aux Raus know how to make a party out of a funeral. Creating a maximum impact with minimal means they became known as the enfants terribles of dance music . Shows took place in bars, squats and seedy discothèques all over the globe: from the undergrounds of Amsterdam, Mexico City and Berlin, to the glamour of Paris and New York City, and back to the welcoming warmth of their parents’ livingrooms in Noordwijk and Oss. In April 2007 they released their first album 'This is how this works', which won the 3VOOR12 AWARD for best dutch album 2007. The band announced in juli 2011 to quit at the end of 2011 with a last tour. Read more on Last.fm.
