Los Angeles indie upstarts the Airborne Toxic Event are set to embark on their first UK Tour as they race across the UK to play an unheard-of 30 shows in 30 days.
The UK is no doubt going to be experiencing a great live band. The Orange County Register wrote in a recent review of the group's show with the Fratellis (part of their current tour): "the real excitement this night came from a first encounter with opening act the Airborne Toxic Event, a striking quintet from the Los Feliz area that has been racking up next-big-thing talk from Rolling Stone and the L.A. press all year."
The band has also been lauded by publications as diverse as Newsweek and USA Today to Spin and the NME.
The Airborne Toxic Event have enormous grassroots support. The band's first single "Sometime Around Midnight" underwent the rarest of occurrences when it was added to rotation at KROQ and Indie 103.1 prior to having a record label or a manager.
"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 practically bursts at the seams and spills its steaming guts across the stage." NME
