The Airborne Toxic Event - The Airbourne Toxic Event

A buzz band in the truest sense, Airborne have become the darlings of local radio and press and fixtures on the Silver Lake music scene, garnering comparisons to everyone from Modest Mouse and The Arcade Fire, to the Clash and U2. With songs that feature unforgettable hooks, and what the Los Angeles Times referred to as “poetry you can dance to,” their now legendary five-week residency at Silver Lake’s Club Spaceland culminated with a sold-out show in which nearly a thousand people showed up to the tiny club.

Airborne’s decision to sign with Majordomo came out of a desire to take a new and innovative path, as bands such as Radiohead have done. Having come so far on their own as an unsigned band, with a finished self-made record already in hand, and despite being courted by countless major labels, they decided to forego a traditional major-label or indie-label deal and chose instead to work in a collaborative fashion with a team of indie and major-label refugees that could take them to the next level. The band made an informed decision to team up with Majordomo in order to take advantage of the label’s unique combination of an indie’s dedication and perseverance with a major label’s resources.

The band is now in the midst of producing one video for each album track, posting one a week on their MySpace page until August 5th in preparation for the album’s launch.
