The Airborne Toxic Event“Poetry you can dance to…nothing short of amazing.” – LA TIMES
“The best debut CD of 2008.” – THE BOSTON HERALD
“Occasionally you get lucky and stumble across a band at the very moment they ignite the engines and blast off into the heavens. The Airborne Toxic Event just gets louder and richer until the music practically bursts at the seams and spills its steaming guts across the stage.” – NME
“Profoundly uplifting songs…a slice of Springsteen-sprinkled, classic indie rock.” – Q
Airborne has quickly developed a reputation for cathartic, wailing live shows, reaching the usually stoic East Side L.A. indie rock crowd on a gut level. Sing-alongs have become the norm at their shows. It is not uncommon for the band to throw thirty tambourines into the crowd or for Harmon or Bulbrook to jump into the ruckus among a chorus of handclaps as Jollett screams from the stage while the audience screams back. Before the band even had a label, a publicist or even a manager, “Sometime Around Midnight,” unexpectedly started being requested and played again and again on KROQ in Los Angeles, the biggest rock radio station in the world and the highly respected Indie 103.1 had suddenly started playing it too. Over the last few years they have grown an astonishing following worldwide and perform to sold out shows regularly. Hot off of their performance at Lollapalooza they are now booked and will be performing with Calexico and the Louisville Orchestra in January of 2010.
