乐队名字很怪异、很个性,五个也不算年轻的人组成了这支Indie乐队,一女四男,其中一个是中国人噢(不知道是姓陈还是程),音乐十分年轻,节奏感不错,满有英伦气质的,旋律轻松咚咚咚咚,流畅但是稍微有些单调,看到小提琴是让人惊喜的,说明这是很现代的,至今发行了一张专集一张EP。

The AirBorne Toxic Event成立于2006,在LA旁边的Los Feliz。作为main former的主唱/吉他手Mikel当时正在创作一部小说,得知自己母亲确诊癌症,自己又同时经历break-up与Autoimmune disease(就像词根拆开那样,患者身体里的细胞自己和自己打架),引发了vitiligo(皮肤上的色素呈补丁/斑状脱落)和alopecia areata(体表毛发骤脱)。经历过这一系列意料之外后,Mikel猛然意识到自己应该写的是歌而不是prose,应该compose一张专辑,而不是一本书。之后的经历愉快得多,Mikel逐渐结识了各个团员,包括Steven Chen华裔lead吉他手和Anna女提琴手。
2007 年,他们首次以The Airborne Toxic Event(名称释疑见下)发表EP/Singels Does This Mean You're Moving On? 一年后的夏天,同名debut横空出世,Sometime Around Midnight等多首单曲被LA地区的DJ视为珍宝,在电台里乐此不疲反复播放,和Ludo嬉皮笑脸的Love Me Dead一起成为08后半年最幸福的加州车载摇滚体验(开高速就要大泡普)。
在乐此不疲的live show过程里,Mikel依旧保持着他的freelancer writer身份,真挺好。
