After years of great music lying dormant, Bobby Barth, with the help of his good friend, Brad Banhagel, have decided to bring the spark of AXE back to the stage. Bobby has been touring for the past several years with Blackfoot. He got to know Brad and Brad's music through a mutual friend, Greg T. Walker, bass player for Blackfoot. Earlier last year, Brad was asked to join Blackfoot as their Tour Manager and Sound Engineer, and the rest is history.
 During Brad's work with Blackfoot, Bobby was able to see Brad's band, Excalibur, at a festival in Old Town Spring, Texas, where Brad resides. He obviously liked what he heard. After spending several days at the house playing with Brad, Greg T. Walker, Charlie Hargrett and Christoph Ullman, Bobby made Brad an offer he couldn't refuse. It was time to get AXE back on the road with some new blood, and a little old blood as well.
Brad gathered his band members together, and with Bobby's help, was able to reach Bob Harris, an original member of AXE (keyboards/vocals), and ask him to join the new line-up of talented musicians. The newest members include Brad Banhagel (lead vocals/guitar), David Landes (lead guitar/vocals), Gerald Berger (bass), Chris Lewis (drums), and Alex Salinas (Keyboard).                 MORE
 
 To those loyal fans who would scoff at this new and somewhat unfamiliar roster, please know that this is not an effort to replace the original band, but to keep AXE alive and bring the music back to the fans. AXE is and always has been an evolution for Bobby and the other original members of the band over the years. Tragedy and good fortune have been forces in the history of this band, and yet another chapter is to be written in the pages of rock! Rehearsals have begun, the lineup is solid. The only thing left is to introduce the band! ...and so the show must go on!
