The Airborne Toxic Event Tickets

Excellent mix of songs from their first two albums and their most recent stuff. Also played some fan favourite covers -- Book of Love and Ring of Fire. Terrific connection with the audience.

Energy onstage, catchy hooky songs that actually have real lyrics. After thoroughly enjoying their debut self titled offering the latest release shows the same promise as I find my self listening to it from start to finish and not many artists lay down track after track that you will find yourself humming or singing to yourself as you go about your day. The next time I get a chance to see them i am sure it will be in a much bigger venue as they will win a lot of new fans of all ages by that time. The only negative to the show was the sound as it took a while to get it right and even then at times it just wasn't right but that didn't stop the group from laying down one solid track after another. The encore was great with some cover tunes thrown in for what looked like fun for the lot of them. The Folsom Prison Blues was memorable. Highly recommended! PS.

Excellent show! Singer's energy was phenomenal, band was tight, and Commodore was a comfortable temperature for a change!

I had fun at the show. Good sound, good venue. Nothing blew me away though. I didn't really like the opening act. Loud, and uninspiring

When The Airborne Toxic Event's Vancouver show was moved from the Venue to the Commodore, I was dismayed for several reasons: the Venue is more intimate and if you get there early enough, you get great sight lines; the Venue is less likely to have an ocean of vomit in front of the stage - an unfortunate experience at the last Commodore show I attended.; shows at the Venue start at a reasonable hour, allowing you to catch the last SkyTrain after the final encore. All that said, TATE made it worth driving downtown on a Tuesday night and standing in front of the Commodore stage (mercifully this time the floor just had the usual residue of sticky beer) to see one of the most energetic, brilliant and outright fun concerts I've attended. This is an extraordinarily talented and literary band. Mikel Jollet even based one of his new songs on a Milan Kundera short story. When you combine a classical violinist with a rock'n'roll heart (Anna bodysurfed into the crowd at one point), a top jazz bassist, a great guitarist , excellent drummer and a smart, funny writer/singer - most capable of switching instruments and taking turns on keyboard - the result is a group that transcends nasty reviews (Pitchfork and Rolling Stone be damned) and puts on one helluva show. The mix of old and new songs worked well, with the crowd singing along to almost everything, including the covers medley of Springstein's "I'm on Fire"/ a Clash-style "I Fought the Law"\ Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison". Mikel seemed more at ease than at shows where I'd seen TATE previously (at Coachella and their last show at the Commodore). He disappeared into the audience several times, showing up on table tops and showering the crowd with ice cubes. After the encore, the entire band stayed around to shake hands with elated fans.

I go to a LOT of concerts/shows, and The Airborne Toxic Event was definitely one of the best I have ever been to. I couldn't get enough of them! Their CD's are so good, and they sound even better live. If I could give them higher than 5 stars I absolutely would. Their sound is great; mostly hard rock with the violin and cello(?) thrown in to some songs which makes their sound unique and unbelievably awesome; they are all so incredibly talented. Wow! All their songs make you want to dance (most of their songs really rock) so don't expect slow and boring with these guys. They are also very charismatic,energetic and really connect with the audience. The lead singer, Mikel Jollett, even came thru the audience while he was singing a song - way cool. They also came back and did a really epic encore. On the evening,the vocals were perfect, the sound was perfect, and so was the venue - The Commodore in Vancouver,B.C. Very highly recommended - do yourself a favour and see them if you can; you won't be disappointed. Hope they come back to Vancouver REAL SOON. It's unfortunate a lot of people haven't heard of them but hopefully they soon will, as this group deserves to be a huge,well-known, mega band.

What an amazing show. Great energy and stagemanship. They were funny too.

Great crowd interaction, great sound, great everything! These guys can really put on a show! Especially with a venue like the Commodore Ballroom!

I knew that this would be a good concert, and still I was way more impressed with them than I thought I would be! They were SO good. They are the most interactive band I've ever watched live, and they were funny and friendly and, above all, incredibly talented. They played almost all of their songs, as well as a few covers. I usually am wary of bands covering songs---esp a song by an artist like The Boss, which they did---but they did it all really well. After the show they hung around shaking hands and taking pictures and chatting with people. It was pretty cool to see a band that down to earth and friendly. The bottom line is that this band is amazing, and if you're lucky enough to have a chance to watch them live you should definitely take it! And if I'm lucky enough to get another chance to watch them, I'll take it in a heart beat.

To be honest i wasnt expecting much, i mean they dont have that much material so i thought that it would be good but not great. Wow they proved me wrong there, they totally kicked arse! We went to the commodore ballroom show in Vancouver, it was close to a full house. There were definitely quite a few people there that didnt know them that well, i think they gained a lot of fans. I've been to quite a few shows lately where the bands have had trouble with their sound, often it seems they are playing too loud it was such a pleasant experience this time to have the band playing at less volume and concentrating more on getting a good clean sound across, the violin and cello, vocals, everything came across really really clear, makes a gig so much more enjoyable that way. All i can say is that some bands have that bit of magic when they play live, where eveything just clicks and ATE have that. Nice touch at the end of the show - they stuck around for about 20 mins shaking hands, chatting with fans and signing autographs from the stage. For me they were a no ego band, and at a total cost of $30 per ticket, i think this must have been the gig of the year for vancouver.

Even the great music couldn't have saved this show. It was soulless, not at all what I was anticipating. Hopefully the Commodore will be big enough to house their egos.

T.A.T.E is the most original band I have heard in years. They are outstanding and engaging live. They have a small following now but given time I am sure they will be huge!

I absolutely loved this concert. It's even better than the last one, so TATE just keeps getting better with time. They always sound so good live and Calder Quartet added a lot to their sound. The venue was also beautiful and had great acoustics. Can't wait to hear the new album, and yes, we got a sneak peak at the many wonderful songs from the upcoming album. If you've seen TATE live, you'll never want to miss another one of their concerts. Also, the band loves their fans and truly enjoys being on stage performing for the crowd. Highly recommended concert!!!

I took my boyfriend on a surprise date to the event as he loves the song Sometime Around Midnight. I didn't know much of their music so I wasn't sure if would enjoy it. However they BLEW my mind! They are extremely talented! What I loved the most was how much they enjoyed playing, you could just see it in their faces! Being played in a small venue like it was, kind of made it feel like a private concert; the band was very personable and friendly. I even got a picture taken with the lead singer as they were leaving, which he was more than happy to offer!

The Airborne Toxic Event is an incredible band. They are so humble and appreciative of their supporters. It was great to meet the band after th show and talk to each of the members. Having this show at Trinity St Paul's Church added to the awesomeness!!

I want to see them again and again, didn't get enough. They are so down to earth and sound even better live. BRAVO!!

The Airbourne Toxic Event put on a fabulous show, along with both opening bands!

The opening band "whitfield" was a solid band. The airborne toxic event put on a stellar performance! They played 3 or 4 acoustic songs that were brilliant. The commodore is always a good venue to see a show! A great night overall!

The opening act "The Henry Clay People" rocked as hard as I have ever seen a band rock. They set the stage perfectly for the Airborne Toxic Event who played their hearts out. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good indie rock concert experience.

Amazing show. This band leaves it all on the stage and knows how to entertain!
