The Airborne Toxic Event

Good afternoon,

We know we’ve been promising this for a while, so here it is. We couldn’t be more excited and honored to announce that we’ll be headlining a very unique and special show at the beautiful Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown Los Angeles on December 4th.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic Presents:
The Airborne Toxic Event
Friday, December 4, 2009
Walt Disney Concert Hall
With special Guests The Calder Quartet

This performance will be the only L.A. date on our upcoming tour and the only rock show to take place at the concert hall through the end of the year. The event will be a celebration, not just of California, but of the music and culture of East Los Angeles—which we love and are proud to call home—and will feature multiple surprise guests and collaborators to that effect. We’ve never done anything like this before, and we’re hoping it’ll be something special and memorable. It’s, among other things, our thank you to the city of L.A. for the amazing support we’ve received and as a source of inspiration for this little art project of a band that we started almost three years ago. We’re also happy to have our good friends The Calder Quartet join us for this concert.

Pre-Sale Tickets go on sale through our website beginning Wednesday, August 19:

General Public Ticket Sales begin Sunday, August 23. You’ll be able to buy them or find more info about Walt Disney Concert Hall at the Los Angeles Philharmonic website.
