Autolux is Eugene Goreshter (vocals, bass) Greg Edwards (guitar, vocals) and Carla Azar (drums, vocals). The trio formed in 1999 in Los Angeles, CA. Carla Azar and Eugene Goreshter had met while scoring Nobel Prize winner Dario Fo’s play Accidental Death of an Anarchist. Azar had also made acquaintance with Greg Edwards when Azar’s former band, Ednaswap, had toured with Edwards’ former band Failure. Following Azar’s departure from Ednaswap, and the break up of Failure, the three began to discuss and formulate ideas about what Autolux was and should be.
In August of 2000, Autolux made their debut, playing two shows at the Silverlake Lounge. On March 1st, 2001, the band released a self-produced EP entitled Demonstration. It contained five songs recorded on an 8 track in their rehearsal space. Armed with recorded material, word of Autolux quickly spread.
Autolux signed with DMZ, a label created by legendary producer T-Bone Burnett and the Coen Brothers. Burnett was a friend of Azar’s, she having played for him in the past, as well as Burnett’s wife, Sam Phillips. Impressed with band’s live show, he approached them after a show and said that he would start his own label and sign them.
A devastating blow was dealt to the band in May of 2002 when Carla fell 10 feet from a stage after Autolux had opened for Elvis Costello. Her elbow was shattered. However, due to an experimental surgery involving a bone graft from her hip and 8 titanium screws, she made a full and complete recovery.

In response to 'why do they have so few listeners?' - Because their (so far solitary) album came out 5 years ago, and the buzz has kinda gone. The release of Fat Kid and Audience No.2 couldn't seem further away now... However, having said that - Fat Kid, hope there's more of that to come!! WHAT a tune. So happy they did a song like that, it's like something Pivot or Radiohead would do.

Great band. I read that the new LP is coming out 2010. Someone's probably already written this here but what the hell; A live studio recording of "Let it be broken" is on the excellent music DVD "From the basement" A MUST for all

Fantastic music. Very different from the other shoegaze bands out there including MBV. This is a great quality to have.
