The Airborne Toxic Event are playing at the Black CAt here in DC tomorrow night (with Henry Clay People opening, who you should definitely not miss). This is a band whose musicial influences and preferences are pretty interesting and different (this is a band covering Goodbye Horses for pete's sake). Drummer Daren Taylor and lead singer/guitarist Mikel Jollet founded Airborne a couple years ago, and something I've always enjoyed the two of them is how truly fucking funny they are together.
This gives you a good indication of both these points; the music is good but the banter is priceless: Daren Taylor and Mikel Jollet dj on Q RAdio, 7/3/09.
