The Airborne Toxic Event have announced a September 7th release date for their new DVD, "All I Ever Wanted: Live From The Walt Disney Concert Hall". The Airborne Toxic Event will also headline a North American tour this fall, accompanied by the Calder Quartet. The band will play a series of acoustic sets at variety of nontraditional venues, including a synagogue, a church and an old vaudeville theatre. If that's not enough, the band is currently in the studio with producer Dave Sardy, working on their new album, slated for release in early 2011.
The DVD is documentary film about their sold-out performance at the internationally renowned Walt Disney Concert Hall, featuring an eclectic mix of musicians and performers-ranging from a children's choir, a world-class string quartet, a high school marching band, horn players, visual artists, and Mexican folkσrico dancers.
The DVD offers an intimate, behind-the-sceneslook at the exhaustive rehearsals and preparation that went into putting on the show at the Frank Gehry-designed venue, home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
The concert in December of 2009 was the last of 354 shows the Airborne Toxic Event played in support of the their debut release.
With string accompaniment from the Calder Quartet, the show features selections from that album, as well as new songs and never-before-recorded cover versions of the Ramones' "Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio?" (with the Belmont High School Marching Band), the Magnet Fields' "The Book of Love," and Q Lazzarus's "Goodbye Horses."
