After three days of wandering the streets of unfamiliar English towns, we finally make it into London. We were last here in July, and it feels surprisingly easy and familiar, as if we’d never left. The city’s similar to Manhattan, except it’s massive, sort of like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston and Los Angeles rolled into a single, circuitous mega-city with a logic-defying number of places to get drunk.
It’s the first night of our month-long residency at Dublin Castle in Camden, a perfect little place for drinking and mayhem that’s not nearly the dungeon its website suggests. We meet the other bands playing with us — all incredibly nice people: Bear Hands, from Brooklyn, the Boat People, from Melbourne, and the Race, from Reading.
At 7:00, the place is already buzzing, and everyone feels good about the night. Even so, it’s Election Day in the States, and all day we’ve been fretting about the stakes, hoping for the best (Obama), bracing for the worst (McCain). It’s Noah who keeps frightening the rest of the band, telling us: “I have a bad feeling about this.” We all try to ignore him and drink some more pints.

We spent day three of our 30 day tour in Birmingham, looking for curry, drinking vodka in the van, and otherwise preparing for our show at Bar Academy. It was a windy and rainy night (typical, so we’re told) and the sound engineer was a woman named Becky. She was rad in all ways.
It got us thinking about what it’s like to be a girl in the rock and roll boys’ club. In the video blog Anna discusses her inside track to what guys think about, her classical background, learning to use a distortion pedal with a viola and what it’s like to be onstage with the boys…

Day two of our tour was spent driving from Derby to York where we played Fibbers. We are adjusting to the rain and meeting people along the way. We sleep off hangovers, we check amps, we dream of faraway lands…

Hello United Kingdom. We are the Airborne Toxic Event, a new band from the East Side of Los Angeles and we’ll be spending the next month in your country, playing a show every night in November. We did this because we are a live band and we don’t really believe in watching music on the internet. See it live.
We’re probably playing in your city and we’d be happy if you’d join us one evening. Come to a show, have a beer, jump around like a banshee. That’s an Airborne show.
Our first day was spent in Derby (November 2nd) we’ll be in York. By Tuesday (November 4), it’ll be London at Dublin Castle in Camden. We’ll be posting about the tour every day this month, right here.
