its native Los Angeles.
The five-piece indie rock band, named after a section of the book White
Noise by Don DeLillo, began with just one member, novelist Mikel Jollett.
Bombarded with a fistful of bad news, he was inspired to turn his attention
from writing prose to writing songs. Four band members later, Airborne had
created a harmony of string instruments, keyboards and a standard rock
lineup of guitar, drums, and bass.
The group played their first show in LA less than one month after it was
fully formed. And in less than two years, the band has earned tons of
positive attention from music lovers and press alike. Rolling Stone named
them one of the ³Top 25 Bands on MySpace.² They have since gone on to be
placed at the top of many press lists, most notably, LA Weekly and The Los
Angeles Times, which hailed them as one the top three LA bands to watch in
2008.
Garnering comparisons to everyone from Modest Mouse and The Arcade Fire to
the Clash and U2, the band has grown internationally debuting in the top 40
album cahrts in the UK as well as a top 5 song at alternative radio in the
states....an amazing accomplishment for a band on a small L.A. Indie label.
