Los Angeles’ The Airborne Toxic Event announces a world tour starting June 28 at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI. The band will bring the music from their eponymous debut throughout the world, playing in 11 countries and on 4 continents. The album, which features the Top 5 single “Sometime Around Midnight,” was released August of 2008 on an indie label, and after a slow yet steady ascension has topped Billboard’s Heatseekers chart the last two weeks, bringing the total number of times the album has been #1 on this chart to three. The band also passed the 100k threshold in albums sold.
A recently-made video for “Midnight” by filmmaker DJ Caruso (Disturbia, Eagle Eye) has helped the band secure support on the everinfluential VH1 program “You Oughta Know.” The song had been named the #1 Alternative Track by iTunes last December, and was a Top 5 Modern Rock smash.
The band has had major success overseas, getting extra attention for their ambitious tour of the UK which included 30 shows in 30 consecutive days. The show is GA / All Ages / $24.00.Tickets are on sale now at The Boulder Theater Box Office. Call (303) 786-7030 for tickets by phone.Videos
