Bio

2000: Pyxis forms in July - Elliot Vaughan (keyboards & vocals), Anton Killin (guitar), Duncan McNae (bass), with additional drumming on demo tape by Ludwig Treviranus. Duncan leaves at the end of the year.

2001: Pyxis manager Brad Rubick enlists Heleyni Pratley (vocals) and Karakate Ou (bass). Local drumming hero Hayden Linney and Raja Palepu (second guitar) are enlisted by Anton.

2003: Pyxis records first EP. Elliot relocates to Canada, Chris Kenny replaces him, and band name changes to Halva Eve.
