History
Audra broke out onto the national scene in 2000 when they signed with indie label Projekt Records. After two well-received albums and over 300 live performances, the band decided to leave Projekt and go back to the DIY approach that started their career in the 1990s.
The band gained the attention of Davey Havok, lead singer of AFI, who chose Audra’s Going to the Theatre (2002) as one of his top 10 albums of the year. The next year, Alternative Press magazine selected Audra as one of the top 10 bands on the scene. Eleven songs from their first two albums were featured throughout three seasons of MTV’s The Real World and several independent films.
On May 19, 2009, Audra released Everything Changes, their first album in seven years. It was recorded in Tempe, Arizona at Uranus Recording (owned by Robin Wilson, lead singer of Gin Blossoms, and produced by Robb Vallier (Dave Stewart, Paul McCartney, Wailing Souls, Peter Murphy).
