Podcast: The Airborne Toxic Event live @ Birmingham Academy (11.7.09)

On Friday, December 4th, locals the Airborne Toxic Event will be playing a special concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles (tickets here), with “multiple surprise guests and collaborators,” including backing by the excellent Calder Quartet. According to the band, the show is meant to “be a celebration, not just of California, but of the music and culture of East Los Angeles—which we love and are proud to call home.”
To get an idea of what the show will be like, check out this ferocious show by Airborne taken from their recent European tour, which includes a lovely acoustic set, covers of the Drifters, Yo La Tengo, Bruce Springsteen, Q. Lazzarus and Jim Carroll, and new tracks like “All I Ever Wanted,” “Letter to Georgia” and “Echo Park.” It’s a monster. Podcast and setlist after the jump.
