Rehearsal Space: The Airborne Toxic Event

[Katelynnsaysrawr]

i would leave my boyfriend just to be with anna bulbrook...and i love my boyfriend very much.........

[aztecmondobean]

i love this band so freakin much, i would do anything for them all to sign my acoustic guitar >.<

[beatuifulmariya]

my heart just floats away.

[nhuether]

@EmptyIrisStudios Heck yes Mikel is totally hot!! So in love with that man.

[jcbryant4200]

just saw them in concert recently in Washington, DC in a small yet packed club. It was interesting that he talked about Anna's presence on stage. She looks so focused on the music, its very interesting to watch her. Mikel is such a nice guy. He even stayed on after the show and just talked with the audience members and allowed us all to take photos with him. This band is something special and they seem very smart so I think they will be putting out some amazing music for a long time.

Take that, Pitchfork, the idiots who gave The Airborne Toxic Event an unfair review!

[jcaps1990s]

[MoonFIame]

I cant get over the fact that these guys(and a girl) are still considered "Indie"... I mean seriously this band is AMAZING!!!

[ThriftStoreTv77]

Mikel Jollett is just an all around beautiful man.

[LadyDarcy101]

[nikedmondson]

"I'm never gonna be a rock star."

Sorry, Mikel x) Two years later, you guys are the greatest fucking band in the world.

[corr14]

I heard they're working on a new album.

[nikedmondson]

@corr14 Yep. Mikel told me and my friends at their Seattle show that it should be due out sometime around January.

[joeydangerously]

My wife thinks he's totally hot...

[afidork]

I've seen them on the east coast, twice! You just gotta check whenever their touring

[supermaniax]

This is the greatest and most down to earth band ever. I bet they are really cool to hang out with not like your usual snooty bands. Hope they come to Austin sometime soon.

[joneskrystalm]

[ChuckDickens24]

They were badass when they came to Cincinnati.

[achristianinfrisco]

[SmallTownGirl32]

how old is mikel anyway, like 30?

[Tat589]

Saw these guys last Friday in an open air (Gampel-Switzerland). Amazing! I had never heard of them!

[cornelius1986]

Miguel Ferrer

[cornelius1986]

he looks like the guy from ROBOCOP 1

[jetjam2]

He looks like Robbie Williams :)

[melmes]

He looks like ed helms, the guy missing the tooth from the hangover, and from the office, but damn is he awesome

[smittyb69n]

I love the passion in his voice

[magiiilie]

gosh the best band ever!!!!!!

[Drumoholic04]

i'm in love with this band..

[GNATMUSIC]

Just looking at Mikel, you would think he would be kind of introverted and unfriendly. But after watching this, he seems like the kind of guy that anyone could be best friends with.

[morfman1990]

thats why we dont judge books by the cover

[GNATMUSIC]

I suppose so.

[aaronmcnello]

I LOVE THEIR LIVE STUFF!!! They are by far the best live performers I've ever heard/seen.

[kswhiting]

Yes he is.

[mikehnly]

Jollett is truly an inspiration...

[Gmag88]

[sssttttthoy]

[lostmysoul321]

[SuperAnimelover100]

steven is HOT!!!! & he does not look like james iha from smashing pumkins. he looks way betters then him

[hijackChrist212]

what was he diagnosed with at 1:02

[eSilva90]

autoimmune disorder which means that the immune system is overactive and attacks the body.

[tehcheeseitman]

autoimmune disorder, meaning his immune system isn't working properly

[MichaelSG13]

Two results of that was loss of pigmentation in parts of his body, and loss of hair.

[aielaiel]

oh god thats huge... they denied the big fat cat labels.  very very smart. the internet making the fat cats useless.

what a story.

[TresFives]

Steven reminds me of James Iha.

[berryjamful]

his smile reminds me of Vin Diesel,.....

[EmptyIrisStudios]

Ok am I the only one who thinks that Mikel Jollett is totally hott? I keep seeing comments about everyone else in the band but him :(

[angielynn02]

[colbypizza20]

what song is that in 1:30 ???

[shsnrod17]

happiness is overated

[naruto071980]

what disorder was he diagnosed with?

[Sparks5150]

Auto-immune disorder.

[StrongHeartSoldier]

is that deadly? ( i know what it is but ive never seen anyone with it)

[rterry0]

A i Ds

[degal13]

No its not he has autoimmune disorder not autoimmune deficiency syndrome- AIDS

What he has can mean that his immune system attacks healthy cells in his body but is manageable with medicine to suppress the reaction of his immune system but he can fall very ill if he gets sick

[Edawg15]

Basically it makes his hair fall out and changes his skin pigment.

[DuudeNO]

AWESOME BAND:]

cute lead::]

[pablodkutter]

this band is awesome !!! seriously they are that rare band that only comes out in a great while.

[mandarama86]

[curechi83]

[fortcollinsknockout]

Thanks for the info!

[awesomnesswerewolf15]

oh hello there

hahah

awesom band

[MrsM4200]

wow!!! this band is great! something new....about time! cant wait to hear more stuff!

[dramalala1]

OMG I LUV THIS BAND

the first time i went to der concert i wasnt really into them though ive heard their music but b4 the concert was ovr they wer truly my fav band their concert was the funnest I LUV T.A.T.E.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fortcollinsknockout]

T.A.T.E. can do no wrong musically...the best band I've heard in quite a while. I literally cannot get enough...the song 'Innocence' is spectacular, yet, 'Sometime Around Midnight' has to be one of the most beautiful songs...EVER!!!  I have also tried unsuccessfully to get the radio station, 'The Point', here in Fort Collins, to start playing their music. What's up with that ...you idiots!!!!

[artrca1000]

101.5 here in Denver played them hard for awhile.

[NowhereMan422]

Lol, ya that's how I first heard them. Then 93.3 and even 97.3 have been playing them some now

[Trigger07]

This band is truely one of the best!

[onewink]

Mikel, you rocked my world from the first time I heard the first note of Sometime Around Midnight. And the whole band has intriqued me ever since. Not since I discovered the Replacements and U2 has a band made such an impression on me. Don't ever stop making music.

[wsidejack]

A very apt comparison. They sound a bit like U2 and the lyrics rival the great stuff Paul Westerberg wrote.

[onewink]

Happy that I'm not the only one to notice. In fact, when I met TATE the first time, I told Mikel as he posed with me for a picture that I couldn't be more excited if I was meeting Bono.

And after having talked with Noah and getting a feel for his personality, I told him that he reminded me of Paul. "Wow, cool." was his response.

[wsidejack]

So far out that you met. I'm hoping they come to Chicago soon -- don't know if I can help but I'll try to get one of the major alternative stations here (which does not play them yet) to play them.

And I was thinking exactly what you said before I saw your comment-- that these are some of the best lyrics I've heard since Westerberg was cranking them out for the 'Mats (aka the Replacements).

[onewink]

I tried to get our station to play them. Twice. I also suggested that they try to get them in the studio the last time they were in town. They just haven't caught on yet...

I only just discovered the 'Mats a few years ago. My obsession with U2 switched to the 'Mats. I haven't had any other obsession until now, with TATE.

[intothewild19]

Best album I've heard in a long long time. Maybe ever.

[mikmikals]

And I can't find it ANYWHERE. I wan't to buy it, and no stores have it......but they have plenty of Britney.

I HATE the music industry......

PEACE.

[captainaoplastdays]

I just heard these guys on the radio.

And now after that and seeing this video, i'm officially a HUGE fan! :D

[Shoes4eva]

have you seen them live?

[johnpg6mm]

yea they were frigin awesome

[Shoes4eva]

i love mikel, hes so great "oh this is so stupid!"

[tommyb08ladd]

this band is amazing, cant believe i didnt hear of them earlier. hope they add to thier england tour dates. - more up north tho. about time a band this sick showed up, well worth following!!!

[pedro2k71992]

mikel is so lovely, airborne coming to our house for dinner next time they in England, how weirds that lol!!

[27722700]

wow....I didn't think real musicians existed anymore....I'm glad to finally get proved wrong

[hazahaxa]

I love TATE I'm gonna go see them live next week!!! I'm so happy!

[thejax1]

you guys are such a huge inspiration to my music its not even funny. i have a friend who plays guess what, viola, and we actually just formed a band... hope to sound half as good as you guys, if we're lucky. thanks a bunch.

[nika8765]

i love you guys SO much.

AND YOU GUYS ROCK IN CONCERT.

[d4v1dl41rd]

they are so amazing live... unbelievable performance.

[RikkiX69]

I'm now a fan of The Airborne ToXic Event!!!! I've seen them on Carson Daly and then Conan. Reminds me of The Walkmen & French Kicks, but also older bands like Velvet Underground & Television.
