Good morning,

The earth was shaking early Monday morning here in Los Angeles. If you’ve never been in an earthquake, it’s kind of terrifying and exhilarating. Equal parts doomsday and roller coaster. Luckily, nobody was hurt.

We are playing four shows to work on new songs we’ve written for the new record. They will be in four cities nationwide. Jack Daniels is sponsoring the whole thing.

Good afternoon,

It’s incredible to be back in L.A. after being away from home for so long. We’re happy to be sleeping in beds that aren’t speeding along the highway and doing normal things again, like hanging clothes in closets and eating lunch. Thanks to everyone who came out to our shows these past two months, and to our fans in the U.K. and Ireland who made London, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Dublin, Manchester, and Oxford the perfect, chaos-driven, booze-fueled end to the tour.

Of course, we’re not quite done with the year yet. We’ve been hard at work, planning and prepping our show at Walt Disney Concert Hall, which goes off this Friday, December 4th. We look forward to seeing all of you, and we promise there will be plenty of guests and surprises…

We’re also putting together a special DVD package of the show that will include a “behind the scenes” documentary. We’ll let you more about this…

Loveline Tonight
We’ll be guests on Loveline tonight with the endlessly knowledgeable Dr. Drew. Hope you can tune in and listen to us give questionable advice to impressionable teenagers.

Gasoline Video
Our bicycle video for “Gasoline” is available now on iTunes, as part of …

It’s good to be back in L.A. for a hot second before we take off for Europe tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who braved the ridiculous heat at Lollapalooza on Sunday in Chicago (the hottest of the summer so far, we hear) to come watch us play. It was a memorable experience, to say the least. We had all kinds of fun. Hope you did, too..

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 …
