The Airborne Toxic Event's debut at the Echo was a huge surprise to us. First of all, we shouldn't have even been there at all, but at the last minute the crew didn't feel like driving down to the Detroit for Asobi Seksku and Darker My Love. And then we remembered a nice little piece of unsolicited email that TATE threw in our inbox and so we decided on checking out their big show. And even though we know that the message went to probably hundreds of cooler bloggers, we're a sucker for good marketing especially when the band is actually good. So a rather crowded Echo welcomed the new group with open arms and we must say we're very impressed. We're in love with "The Girls in Their Summer Dresses" -- with a title like that it's hard not to be. The Smiths/Cure/Psychedelic Furs influences are pretty obvious but we hear hints of The Clash, The Pogues, and Shelleyann Orphan in there at times. The result is yet another UK-sounding band based in Los Angeles (a la Mighty Six Ninety, Gran Ronde, etc.) and this is a good thing.
The Airborne Toxic Event performs at El Cid on 10/20 and showcases at CMJ on 11/3.
