The band are
preparing to release their newest album, Such Hot Blood,
in the coming months. Such Hot Blood
marks TATE's first album with Jacquire King, the three-time
Grammy Award®-winning producer, engineer, and songwriter/musician whose
credits range from Kings of Leon, Of Monsters and Men, and Cold War Kids, to
Buddy Guy, Tom Waits, and Norah Jones.
Such Hot
Blood is the follow-up to All At Once,
released April 2011, TATE's second album and their first for Island
Records (following their self-titled indie debut on Shout! Factory's Majordomo
imprint, released in 2008). The release of All At
Once was supported with an unprecedented series of multi-venue
five-night residencies in the world's three rock capitals - London, Los
Angeles, and New York - encompassing venues of increasing size and capacity in
each city. Prior to those shows, TATE played a series of European
residencies in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Paris.
The Airborne
Toxic Event - Mikel
Jollett (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Steven Chen (guitar,
keyboards), Anna Bulbrook (viola, keyboards, tambourine, backing
vocals), Noah Harmon (bass, backing vocals), and Daren Taylor
(drums) - earned their reputation as an aggressive touring band, known for
playing more than 350 dates in support of their debut album release, opening
for Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, the Ting Tings, and many
others.
The Airborne Toxic Event, who take their name from an
incident in Don DeLillo's terrifying 1985 novel White Noise (involving
a poisonous cloud that erupts after a chemical spill from a railcar), are
known for stretching the rock envelope at its seams. The band is no
stranger to grand musical gestures, for example, being the only modern music
act to play at the esteemed Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles during its
2009 fall season. The result was the concert-documentary film All I
Ever Wanted (2010), chosen as an official selection to the Raindance Film
Festival. The band has performed with the Colorado Symphony, the
Louisville Orchestra, and frequent collaborators the Calder String
Quartet.
